[QUOTE="TreChriron, post: 7660132, member: 5046"] I've read through the MC3e quick start and really liked what I see. First, you roll 2d20 and try to get at least one die rolled UNDER the TN which is generally your ability score. If you have ranks in expertise in the skill, you increase the TN by those ranks. You also have "focus" in the skill. Every time a dice comes up with your focus or less, you get an additional success. So say you have an ability of 12, an expertise of 3 and a focus of 2. You roll a 1 and a 12. You get two successes for both rolling under the TN of 15 AND 1 additional success because the 1 is under your focus of 2 (counts both 1's and 2's). It's seems like a nifty self limiting mechanic where the numbers don't need to get wonky for a breadth of options. Also, the 2d20 gives you a curve but instead of adding, you are rolling a mini dice pool. It's actually quite genius. It looks like a lot of fun to play, really quick resolution but with some options in that one simple roll. [/QUOTE]
