So on a more masic level, using a die or a group of dice, depending on the situation, resaults in various odds and propabilities. if you want a higher rate of succuess, you would use smaller dice(i.e. d4), and for a lower rate use bigger dice(i.e. d20), and for even more variances you would use multiple dice to increase or decrease the rate of success. So rather than each die fulfilling a spcific function its more about how well the player is allowed to succeed or fail. AS from what i take from it, if you want a player to have a high rate of succeeding, you would use a d4. If you want a higher rate of success but not too much higher, then it may call for using mulitple d4 dice (i.e. 3d4) and having a spcific target number.  I.e. Atk is 5, opponnents Def 10. roll 3d4 (+ 2 for mod.)or something to that effect just a basic layout to get a better understanding. I guess it would help if I could see expamples in skills or combat situations in which the dice are use.  do you think that is a good understanding of how it works? or am i missing something</blockquote>
