[QUOTE="Mallus, post: 5991720, member: 3887"] I think the idea is a quick-and-dirty task resolution system, nothing more, nothing less, meant to favor play-at-the-table over gearhead charop between sessions. If you're PC has a good ability score, they've got a decent chance to make the related skill check. Note this skill system sits beside a stat generation method which is designed to produce high-average numbers (4d6 drop lowest & stat bumps for both race and class, but capped at 20). Isn't it always? :) It's a list of suggestions, guidelines. I find list like that extremely helpful. In fact, the d20-era product I really wanted was "The Big Book of DCs". That lacuna is the place where realism and verisimilitude live. [/QUOTE]
