[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 6248103, member: 67338"] no his is more like west end games (not a knock just a comparison) you roll xd6 and add them up... so if you have 5d6 you are generating a number from 5-30 with an average of 19.5 so even rolling 2d6 is auto making a 2DC so looking at his numbers 2d will hit his 6 most of the time 3d is almost a gurantee 4d+ you need a very bad day not to hit that 6 13 is his standard, 2d can never hit it, 3d can but it's hard 4d does it on average though, and 5d+ just gets easier and easier as the numbers go up the number of dice you need goes up as well 21,25, and 29 are all huge on d6's on average you need 6+ die pools for any of them, and I would not feel it easy to get a 29 even with 10d6 (average 35) because of the amount of swing at that level... infact I would say for me personaly to feel comfadant I would need a 12+ die pool for a 29 now not knowing how these pools are formed (WoD was stat+skill and west end game was as well but in a different mind set) edit: [MENTION=1]Morrus[/MENTION] please tell me if I over stepped with my analysis [/QUOTE]
