[QUOTE="jester47, post: 2804519, member: 2238"] Wil, Your last post seems completely nonsequiter with what you quoted. I am talking about the way burning wheel works vs the way d20 works. What are you talking about? In burning wheel your target is say a four. you roll 6 dice 3 of which come up as successful. the GM set the number of successes to acomplish said task to be 4. You fail. I am asking how this is really any different from you roll a d20 add your skill ranks and attribute modifiers and come up with a 28. The GM set the DC at 30. You fail. Burning wheel makes the claim that the GM should not be able to just set the difficulty of a task. But clearly the GM does to an extent Thats pretty much my argument. What you are saying seems to be in a completely different vein. Are you offering an alternate system that does not have the DM/GM "problem?" I am generally curious as to what your posts about SilCore are all about. I really don't mean to be so obtuse. [/QUOTE]
