In your example: to climb a tree – I do not have my players roll a skill check, only if I believe it requires a task that is beyond normal. However, I might be a little free with my MS/HS skills for Backstab. I usually give them bonuses to these skills when attempting to surprise a monster/target during optimized conditions, but when there is “no chance for a normal person” I will go with their normal skill stats or throw in a “-2” penalties. To keep things simple – I only allow skills to be incremented in 5% blocks, and convert to 1-20 digits. This enables me to keep suite with the rest of the stats and rolls…so in my games you will never see a player thief with 52% chance to PP. ++laugh++ we (game group) went through a time in the mid-90s when no one had a d10 dice with them - ++laugh++ for some dumb reason we would always leave them in the box of my copy of FASA’s Star Trek….</blockquote>
