Well, you know the old saying.

When you assume, you and me make an azz out of each other.

Like this?

A D20 is a poor base when you want any consistency of result. News at 11. Same applies to any big linear die roll.

Now I know how Alice felt.

No, I'm pretty sure that even if you're not objectively wrong, you're being either delusional or insipid.

Edit: And you, you're not only wrong in virtually everything you said in that post, but you only said it to annoy OP. Which, I guess isn't a surprise.

Edit2: Seriously. Augh. I've just got nothing for you.

That depends on what you add to the d20, or what you compare it to. If typical values are in the 0 to +15 range, like in 5e, yeah the d20 is a very strong determinant of the final result. If typical values are 0 to +50, the d20 matters a lot less.

I could swear someone put up the numbers within the past year and 3d6 + x worked surprisingly similar to d20 + 2x. (Assuming my memory isn't messing with me).

Hey, if you want to put Nails on your pizza, thats on you.

What's more, there are stores where you can buy both under one roof! Life in modern times....

It does. There's some discussion of it on stack exchange. So if you switch to a 3d6 system, the bonuses matter a lot more, which can mess up the assumptions about DCs.

If only there were webpages full of hot dog eating contest records so we could see if there was seemingly any connection or not. But why bother checking when we can take your word for it.

Thank God you have as much say designing the game as I do.
