[QUOTE="EarthsShadow, post: 304263, member: 3531"] the reason for this is to simulate Alternity and to make it easier to calculate the effects of Ordinary, Good, and Amazing results, in which setting all combat to a specific Difficulty Number and then having the increments based on that target number make it MUCH easier to implement and figure damage. Besides, once you get used to it, its easier...it is to me at least. Ordinary result, need DC 10 Good result, need DC 20 (or 25 if 20 is to low) Amazing result, need DC 30 (or 40 if 30 is to low) Adding in the possibility of dice explosion if you do roll a Natural 19-20 on the die and still the likelhood of getting an Amazing result is pretty low...which means that we should use the DC 10-25-40 system as above. This will also allow us to use the different types of damage and healths available in Alternity, and not just Hit Points as in d&d. And, by doing this, we can come up with a way that once your health is figured at level 1, it doesn't increase unless through the expenditure of character points when you gain levels. Just like in Alternity/Darkmatter. This is why for combat, the easiest solution is to set the DC to base 10 for attacking and have all modifiers, situational and defender, modify the attack roll.
