[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6148600, member: 177"] One dice mechanic I like was found in Godlike, a WWII supers RPG. These days, the dice mechanic is call the "[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-Roll_Engine]One Roll Engine[/url]". The idea is this - you are rolling some number of dice (in Godlike, it is d10s). You look at your results and make sets (you may have two dice that come up 7s, and three dice that come up 2s, for example). The "height" of the set (what the number on the die is) and the "width" of the set (how many dice are in it) both matter in the result. The width generally tells you how fast you complete the action, and the height tells you how well you do. In combat, width and height also determine damage and hit location. Free quick start rules for Godlike, that allow you to see how the mechanic works, are available for free from RPGNow.
