"Accident of Math"???

[Mustrum_Ridcully]

Maybe they mean that at levels 1-10 die rolls (to-hit and skill rolls, anyway) will be made with 1d20, levels 11-20 will use 2d20, and levels 21-30 will use 3d20, thus always keeping the variable from the dice relevant and not letting it become trivial because of the modifiers.


Just a thought, anyway.

I don't think it is very likely, but something similar is partially done in Starwars and its Skill System.

Some races or talents allow you to reroll a d20 roll for a specific skill or skill use.
So yes, you might roll 2d20, but you use only the roll of one d20.

The question might be: How often do you get such rerolls? At what point does it turn into the Shadowrun or Storyteller "buckets of dice" systems? (Which I personally don't find bad). As long as it doesn't turn it into the "Das Schwarze Auge"s "roll three times against the DC and hope you don' fail to much..."
