[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 8620212, member: 1465"] d20 the best so far but it is not flawless: it actually has too much swing for skill checks, which causes untrained characters to do better than trained characters too often (it is almost the norm instead of being an exception). The d20 dice itself is the coolest, but I'd be interested in trying out a system centered on the d12 instead to achieve a smaller swing. Basically the same as d20 system but rearranged to be based around always rolling d12 for resolutions. Obviously the general bonuses and penalties would need to shrink a bit so as not to become relatively huge to the base range of dice results. The d12 dice would also have an interesting nice extra vibe because of its maximum being 10+2, that could lead to say that "10 is when you do everything perfectly according to your purpose, while 11 or 12 is when you exceed even your own purpose".
