[QUOTE="Sir Brennen, post: 8578189, member: 553"] Any response you get is going to be an opinion. Don't just wave people off this way when you're getting what you asked for. (At least that what I take from your use of the "Review" tag: Please review my system. Usually, it's used when the original poster is reviewing a published product.) Anyway... Overall, very confusing. Could have probably left the probabilities for later, and just explain the mechanic using more examples, without the underlying math. I think you should start with getting rid of the decimal value for Level, and just make it a separate stat/value, with a whole number value of 1 to 20. If I'm reading your table correctly, that's actually how you're treating it. (Otherwise, any die roll on a d10 is always superior to 0.2) With that assumption, let me paraphrase your rules: Roll 2d10. If the results of both dice are over your Level, subtract 1 from your Rank. If the result of only one die is under or equal to your Level, Rank is unmodified. If the results of both dice are under or equal to your Level, add 1 to your Rank. If the [B]total[/B] of both dice is under or equal to your Level, add 2 to your Rank. Then what? What do you do with the resulting Rank? Am I comparing it to something? If I have Rank 5 and Level 10, and I rolled a 1 and a 3, then I get +2 to my Rank, making it 7. What does my current Rank 7 mean? Assuming this is supposed to be an Action Resolution mechanic (like rolling the 2d10 to make an attack), what if I'm fighting a Rank 8 opponent? Since I have 0% chance to match or beat his Rank, can I do [I]anything[/I] to him?
