[QUOTE="Akrasia, post: 1718529, member: 23012"] I agree. Jackal's example unnecessarily complicates things IMO. If a 1st level fighter and 20th level fighter with the same strength should have the same chance of performing some strength-related maneuver, just use the same target number and NOT add the character's level. C&C is supposed to be rules-lite! :D Also, after Jackal's post, it is unclear to me what the 12/18 mechanic DOES apply to. That is, what kinds of rolls involve the Primes/non-Primes distinction (12/18 mechanic), and what kinds of rolls do not (involve straight stats)? My impression is that if you make a roll for a Prime ability, you have what amounts to a +6 bonus. That simple. (Whether this is because of additional skill or ability, the CK and her players can determine.) No I am not so certain... Please keep it simple! :confused: [/QUOTE]
