[QUOTE="irdeggman, post: 1900380, member: 16285"] Henry got it right on the wild die thing, at least that was the edition we used before switching to d20 Star Wars. An example of what this wild die can lead to - my character, a Klatoonian rustabout made a check to see if he could "recognize" where a new player's PC had come from. The player had gone to great lengths to work out with the GM that his PC was from a place that no one had heard from. Well after (IIRC) 5 wild die rolls - the GM said that Krunch (my PC who always referred to himself in the 3rd person, and still does in his d20 reincarnation) had acually heard of the planet and knew something about their races. At a different time Krunch (the sometimes lucky) was making a juryrig attempt to keep the ship running after the engine blew out (again after many wild die rolls) he managed to patch it up with duct tape and chewing gum and become the ship's engineer, at least in teasing. Krunch's greatest skills were his martial arts ones. "When stormtroopers dance with Krunch they call his name when their helmuts collapse." Dancing is how Krunch refers to his martial abilities, which comes in real handy when the party decides to take out some one sneakily "You know Krunch ole buddy maybe you should teach this bloke how to [I]dance[/I]."
