[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8175172, member: 93670"] Now I'm curious what guidance might look like :D I've played in games that tried 2d10 as well as dice pool games like shadowrun fate & modiphius' [URL='https://rpgknights.com/fluidity-of-combat-in-the-conan-rpg/']2d20 [/URL]systems & the 2d10 winds up feeling particularly bad as you have bob with two same colored dice who either slows the game rolling one by one or always seems to roll high low but never low high, meanwhile everyone else has the added frustration of "if only I had said blue was tens instead of green" or whatever on top of the chance for bad rolls. A dice pool is good, but the system needs to be designed for it & expertise dice are a nice middle ground between 1d20+mods & the kind of fluid opposed rolls you tend to see with combat in dice pool systems [/QUOTE]
