the 2d10 system

[le Redoutable]

first you have a Rank ( from 1 to say 8 )
then, within a given Rank you have Levels ( from .01 to .20 )

so, you roll 2d10 with the following rules :
if d1 and d2 are superior to your .Level then you get a -1 to your Rank
if d1 or d2 are inferior or equal to .Level then you get a +0 to your Rank
if d1 and d2 are inferior or equal to your .Level then you get a +1 to your Rank
if d1 + d2 are inferior or equal to your .Level then you get a +2 to your Rank

I have absolutely no understanding how this is supposed to work or even the design goal. If you are designing a new game systen, it would be best to make it as simple as possible. Not many are interested in complicated math while playing.

 

[le Redoutable]

yes, it is alternative to the D20 system;
here you have a Rank ( from 1 to 8 ) and within each Rank you have a .Level ( from .01 to .20 ) ( euh it is written at the beginning of the topic )

the idea is : people who share the same Rank say in Fighting can compete with each other;
when there's a difference of one Rank it becomes uneasy to win, but still :
between 5.20 ( always 5+2=7 ) and 7.05 ( 25% of -1 ==> 7-1=6 , 50% of +0 ==> 7+0 = 7 , 15% of +1 ==> 7+1=8 and 10% of +2 ==> 7+2=9 )
the maths say the 5.20 bearer has chances to win the contest ( well, whatever )

 

[le Redoutable]

... if that could help :
let's examine 7.05
a 25% of -1 gives a -1x25=-25
whatever the +0 it is always 0
a 15% of +1 gives +1x15= +15
a 10% of +2 gives +2x10=+20
so -25+0+15+20+700= 710
( each Rank gives a full 100 points per Rank )

 

[Blackrat]

But what is the goal of this? How does it improve a game from d20? As I said, most people don’t want more complicated math if it does not offer something into the game. So you say rank 5 is unlikely to win against rank 7, but still possible, I don’t see how that’s different than someone with proficiency 2 unlikely to win against proficiency 5, but still possible. The only difference is that yours has more complicated math.

 

[le Redoutable]

well, that is your opinion

 

[Fifth Element]

well, that is your opinion

No, it's definitely much more complicated. To be frank, I've read it over quickly and I have no idea what the system is really. Can you explain the benefit of the additional complexity.

 

[le Redoutable]

there are 4 levels of success, from -1 to +2;
these vary with your .Level
the idea is that, given the same Rank there is approximately the same % of success
now if there's 2 Ranks or more of difference it becomes uneasy to win the contest
I used to say that Jackie Chan was Fighter ( or Monk , or whatever ) Rank 4
often he confronts Bosses who generally are Rank 5
still he wins...
