[QUOTE="Jeremy, post: 219664, member: 4036"] I've been using the "d20+strength score" variant for quite a while for opposed strength checks and it's been working beautifully. There are still upsets, but there is some advantage to the stronger person now instead of relying almost purely on the dice roll. I've even started using this variant on strength checks though this is somewhat harder as you have to set a DC. The method I've been using is simply to say, ok, catching a falling compatriot who weighs only around a 100lbs would be easy for an 18 strength body builder, so he'd roll a 5 for a DC of 23. So for you to catch him it's DC 23, d20 plus strength score. Alternatively you can guesstimate how strong someone would have to be to have a 50/50 shot at something and add that hypothetical strength score to 10 for the DC, though I found the first method of setting the DC easier. YMMV, works great for me so far. [/QUOTE]
