[QUOTE="ThrorII, post: 9168363, member: 31647"] So, I found that reaction rolls (Dodge, Parry, Stamina) reaaaallly slow down the game, especially when there are multiple actions per player per round. Having a MiniSix fixed defense (at the expense of -1D for a Dodge or Parry) is well worth it. For those who don't know, the static number is determined by your skill dice x3, plus any pips you have. A Dodge skill of 4D+2 gives you a static dodge of 14. And yes, cover gives you +5 (in MiniSix). Additionally, Each weapon does not have an individual Difficulty number to hit. The static dodge is increased by cover (+5) or range (+5/+10/+15). I've also dumped separate "Melee Parry" and "Brawling Parry" skills, and have them automatically equal to your "Melee" or "Brawling" skill dice. And yes, HyperspaceD6 is too simplistic overall, but their Force rules are good in my opinion. Instead of dozens of Force abilities, with a multitude of skill checks for each ability (for example, needing a Diff 5 Control roll AND a Diff 10 Alter roll), you have 1 Force skill for each ability, and the Difficulty is set for how you use the Force.
