[QUOTE="RodneyThompson, post: 4674266, member: 3594"] It says, concisely, that things need to make logical sense in your game, and it's up to you, as the DM, to convey that logic through description. I won't argue that such a concept could be expanded upon, but it [i]is[/i] there. D6 Star Wars describes skill targets both with a word description (Hard, Moderate, etc.) and with numerical values. I'm not actually arguing anything, I don't think. Instead, I feel like I've been trying to explain how the rules can be used to create internal consistency in the campaign world, and show how that was the intent of the design. I'm likewise hoping to understand why some people didn't feel this was communicated well, and use what I learn here to inform any future writing I might do on the subject. I think that's an excellent point, and part of the reason I'm continuing to participate in this thread is to find out what needs to be better communicated. However, rather than taking everything at face value, I do want to dig deeper into the real reasons behind the confusion, so I can understand it better. [/QUOTE]
