[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7446620, member: 996"] An obvious, 'low-hanging-fruit,' sort of improvement. Yes, if each dice mechanic delivers a flat uniform distribution with some % chance of success, there's no reason not to consolidate on just one such mechanic. Yes, needless complexity is needlessly complex! ;) Meh, 'style' has been overblown in the community for years now: dice mechanics are just mechanics, they do what they do in a way that's entirely subject to mathematical analysis - whether you're rolling 10 or less on d20, trying to hit a DC of 11 on an unmodified d20, trying to roll even on a d6, 6+ on a d10, or flipping a coin, it's all 50/50. Now if you roll d20 vs a DC for some stuff, and 2d10 or 3d6 for others, there's a difference... [/QUOTE]
