((Nyah. Success'es'?))

[Empiricist]

((A dice contributes one success on a roll of 4 or 5, negative one successes on a roll of 1 and two successes on a roll of 6.))

((A dice contributes one success on a roll of 4 or 5, negative one successes on a roll of 1 and two successes on a roll of 6.))

((Nyaaaah. I think I'll stick to single dice. Besides, most of the stats are in the lower units from what I can glean from Mainspring and we're using tens.))

[Empiricist]

((Fair enough.))

[IamanElfCollaborator]

((That'd be about 10 dice in addition to the first dice rolled for each and every roll anyway. ))

[Empiricist]

((?))

[IamanElfCollaborator]

((?))

((Dice pool? I STILL don't know how that works.

I'll decide about whether or not I create a new thread when I get out of bed. Elf too lazy. ))

[Empiricist]

((You lost me on the tens.))
Okay, say someone rolled to attack, they have n+20 points in their attack stat but for whatever reason only decided to put 20 into this attack. They still have n more pool available should they want to target two people. They roll.
20 dice are rolled.

Code: (Roll Results) [Select]

4, 2, 2, 4, 3, 1, 5, 4, 5, 1, 5, 5, 4, 5, 5, 2, 4, 4, 6, 4,Their success quantity, in the same order, are:

Code: (Interpreted Roll Results) [Select]

+1 +0 +0 +1 +0 -1 +1 +1 +1 -1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +0 +1 +1 +2 +1Which adds up to a result of 13.

The turn is run and at the end, pool is reset.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

((Ah. ))

[Empiricist]

((Though, speaking as someone who has previously rolled for their characters this way, it's quicker just to look a the dice and add up their successes without conversion. Still, what was that about tens and whatnot?))

((I dunno. The way stats factored into the pool confused me. It still does, to an extent. ))

[Empiricist]

A character's pool for a stat is equal to how much they have in that stat. So if character X has n in stat S, their S pool is equal to n. Supposing X distributes q into one of their action for that turn, where q < n, they will have n-q pool remaining for S which they can distribute for something else.

Kyle shoots the confusing and upsetting numbers.
"No."

[Empiricist]

In layman's terms, people get screwed over by large mobs and everyone can have mechanically defined combat styles.

That... doesn't sound like what it's talking about at all.
