[QUOTE="vermilion, post: 4664665, member: 82346"] The system is more convoluted than current-gen DND, but it's not particularly difficult to play with. The hardest part is keeping track of all the different ways certain things are governed. As others have mentioned, skills run off a d100 percentile, while hit rolls are d20. Attribute and skill bonuses stack like crazy, particularly if you're doing anything involving hand-to-hand combat (the martial arts system from Ninjas & Superspies will make you lose your mind.) You also have weird things like hit points and armor class for mundane things, but then covert to 'mega damage" for the really powerfstuff, which for some reason does not have an armor class. It's not as simple as it could be, but it's still pretty straightforward. With regards to Robotech, the new game is identical to the old game, with the exception of some new mecha and the Shadow Chronicles plot lines. The mecha combat is plenty of fun, though there really isn't as much incentive to be in vehicle mode as I'd have liked. [/QUOTE]
