I'd also argue that when the best team loses, it's usually due to poor tactics + bad luck - not just bad luck.The "swing" of d20 is very well documented and debated. I used to hate it but later realized 1d20 produces randomness better than most dice solutions. And the roll results are managed by character bonuses. Of course I champion GURPS a lot on this site because its '3d6 roll under' is my favorite process: fast and easy task resolution.I'm not seeing how the bell-curve (like with GURPS) figures when the player has to roll low AND close to the TN. Rolling high or low should be enough. It's hard enough for a GM to maintain pacing and consistency running a campaign, goofy dice rules just make task resolution more complicated and slows everything down IME.</blockquote>
