[QUOTE="Ferruccio, post: 9002680, member: 7041399"] Just to get any misinterpretations about the complexity out of the way, it’s really a fairly basic and fun d10 dice pool at its core. Playtesters and reviewers have put it somewhere in between narrative-driven games like Powered by the Apocalypse and more crunchy games like D&D 5e in terms of complexity. The roll mechanic: [LIST] [*]Ability + Skill = how many d10 to roll [*]8 or 9 = 1 success / 10 = 2 successes [*]Difficulty ranges from 1 to 5 and is simply the number of successes you need to roll. [/LIST] - Then, any successes you roll above (lets say you roll 4 when the difficulty is 2) becomes Momentum. For most rolls, that just lets you know how well you succeeded ‘narratively’, while in combat it can be used to trigger weapon attributes and aid your allies (you use it immediately and cannot save it up). - If you fail a roll, however (and only then), you check your Setback Die (a d10 of a different color).
