Hmm... maybe it would be easier to understand with some examples.

[TolyK]

well I'm bad at explaining  but:

when you get more skill points the chance of success increases. basically that.

[Darvi]

Examples.

[SeriousConcentrate]

I see what you're getting at with this system, and I like the idea behind it. If I understand it correctly, it would continue on like this, right?

D7: [1]:CF, [2]:F, [3]:MS, [4]:S, [5]:S, [6]:CS, [7]:OS
D8: [1]:CF, [2]:F, [3]:MS, [4]:S, [5]:S, [6]:CS, [7]:CS, [8]:OS
D9: [1]:CF, [2]:F, [3]:MS, [4]:S, [5]:S, [6]:S, [7]:CS, [8]:CS, [9]:OS
D10: [1]:CF, [2]:F, [3]:MS, [4]:S, [5]:S, [6]:S, [7]:CS, [8]:CS, [9]:CS, [10]OS

Or am I off a bit?

EDIT: Here's an example based on my understanding. Let's say a strength 10 character is trying to move a boulder, and so is a strength 4 character. S10 rolls 1d10 and has several chances for success, whereas the S4 character rolls 1d4 and has 1/2 chance of failure.

Yeah, yeah, it seems like a good system. But I don't think there's gonna be any skill progression in this game anyhow (except through PowerPoints, I guess?), so it's not really needed. Do correct me if I'm wrong.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Nah, I get where you're coming from Hellhound. I'm not trying to cause any of the GMs any more hassle than necessary, I'm just considering this for my own future purposes. ^^

[Darvi]

Aaah. Now I get it. So if you have 2 in a stat then you better don't even try.

[TolyK]

yeah.
except ... what?

that's a bit strange.
I guess we could have some be the normal, which folks can sell off.

[Sean Mirrsen]

What's an RTD without skill progression? At least you'll be able to get better at shooting with your guns, or using your magic, or whatever. The race bonuses should be just a starting skillset, it would be fairly odd if it wasn't the case.

Also, I guess that part doesn't stand out, but the progression pattern is MS,S,OS,MS,S,CS. So, the next few values past 6 become:
D7: [1]:CF, [2]:F, [3]:MS, [4]:MS, [5]:S, [6]:CS, [7]:OS
D8: [1]:CF, [2]:F, [3]:MS, [4]:MS, [5]:S, [6]:S, [7]:CS, [8]:OS
D9: [1]:CF, [2]:F, [3]:MS, [4]:MS, [5]:S, [6]:S, [7]:CS, [8]:OS, [9]:OS
D10: [1]:CF, [2]:F, [3]:MS, [4]:MS, [5]:MS, [6]:S, [7]:S, [8]:CS, [9]:OS, [10]:OS
D11: [1]:CF, [2]:F, [3]:MS, [4]:MS, [5]:MS, [6]:S, [7]:S, [8]:S, [9]:CS, [10]:OS, [11]:OS
D12: [1]:CF, [2]:F, [3]:MS, [4]:MS, [5]:MS, [6]:S, [7]:S, [8]:S, [9]:CS, [10]:CS, [11]:OS, [12]:OS

A strength 10 character moving a boulder will have a 2/10 chance of failing, 3/10 chance of nudging it, 3/10 chance of doing everything right, and 2/10 chance of overdoing it. A strength 4 character will have a 2/4 chance of failing, and a 1/4 chance of nudging or doing it right.

[TolyK]

yeah, i was thinking about the same
added poll

[Darvi]

Roll to poll? Loll.

[Dermonster]

Is there anything I need to do at this point?

[TolyK]

yes.
help us figure out what system we're using for rolls, finalize it all, etc. 

and if we drastically change you'll have to re-work the races/classes you had 

[Dermonster]

I don't think I picked a race/class. where was that?
