[QUOTE="mykesfree, post: 8154457, member: 61291"] [USER=6978526]@PRAdams[/USER] I have played lots of STA and Conan that uses a similar system. I have yet to see your hammer and nail problem. In 2d20 games it is assumed that characters are hyper competent at what they do and understand many things about the task they are about to attempt. The GM gives the difficulty of the task before hand and what are applicable Dives and Skills. The example you gave are all versions of persuading a person to give you something. For this system it looks like it would be an applicable Drive + Communicate task. What I find interesting about this game and Dune in particular is that depending who you ae asking it might change the drive. Maybe when asking for a hotel room, the person you are speaking to is a Freemen, so maybe your drive in Faith or Justice might have more weight. On Caladan when asking for a speedboat, maybe it the drive for Truth, that can convince the person to give you a speedboat rental. On Giedi Prime for computer system access maybe the drive is Power.
