It's especially beneficial to players who are mathematically challenged.Dice pools also scale better: you can always add more dice, and a result of zero successes remains a possiblity. Yet, by being able to achieve more overall successes, you can achieve progressively better results that cannot be achieved by characters with a smaller dice pool. Using a percentile system you are limited to a range of 0 to 100%. Trying to replicate the advantage of increasing dice-pools would result in complicated math and most likely something as unwieldy as look-up tables.</blockquote>
