Also what it says in the current System Reference Docs."The normal method of buying additional d20s is by spending Momentum, as discussed later. In brief, thisis paid from the group’s Momentum pool (because it’s done before a Skill Test is rolled), and costs 1point of Momentum for the first d20, two Momentum for the second d20, and 3 Momentum for thethird d20."1st dice is 1, to buy the second dice is another 2, and the third extra dice is 3. So 1, 3, 6.Reading around is seems Conan and John Carter of Mars were 1,2,3. So it seems the earlier games were more generous, but since they have moved to 2nd Ed it is a lot tougher on gaining dice.Although that does reflect another issue with 2d20, the system isn't the same between games, they each have their own little mechanics some of which even change the core mechanics, so learning one can actually put you at a disadvantage to playing another as you have the wrong ruleset in your head.</blockquote>
