The biggest difference the 2d10 introduces is that criticals and "fumbles" (i.e.,20s and 1s) become less frequent, though not drastically so. This may be prefereable to some, undesirable to others.Still, I agree that figuring out probailities on the fly is easier (for me) with a flat distribution.Part of me wonders if this is the reason GoO decided to go with 2d10 for SAS Tri-Stat, assuming they knew they were also going to do a d20 version. It makes the two games more similar than if they had gone with BESM's 2d6 or even a HERO-esque 3d6.</blockquote>
