[QUOTE="Gentlegamer, post: 2391706, member: 2425"] Many C&C players explain the prime as a +6 so that d20 players understand it. It makes no difference how you think of it as long as the finaly TN comes out the same. It means the character is "more trained" or "talented" in tasks that fall under the prime attributes. It doesn't require listing each specific narrow skill the character is proficient in. An added level of skill is represented by adding the character's experience level to certain checks. Both means you can succeed on a lower roll of the die, that is, it is easier. It has zero relation to the way THAC0 used to work. You can think of it either way, it makes no difference. I would hazard to say it is to reduce the number of +/- modifiers you have on your character sheet. And you give a response I've come to expect from d20 Fantasy players - the game experience can only be enhanced by more rules. [/QUOTE]
