But I don't see how D8+2 will do any good.<br /><br />Attribute 3 and "fighting skill" 2 person has target number of 5 against D8.<br /><br />Attribute 3 and fighting skill 2 + subskill has target number of 6 but he rolls D8+2 what means, he more likely fails than guy without subskill when rolling under.<br /><br />Subskill might give extra +1 like you said.<br />Fighting 2 and subskill in battle axe would be +3 instead of +2 but with same dice.<br /><br />But are subskills too good then?<br /><br />Here is example skill list:<br />http://cradleofrabies.blogspot.com/2010/10/ydin-modern-setting-skills-list.html<br /><br />Here's how skills work:<br />http://cradleofrabies.blogspot.com/2010/10/ydin-skills-in-general.html<br /><br />So, if you buy firearms, you get bundle of three different firearm categories but they all are at one negative modifier. You can buy them also separately.<br /><br />So, with firearms 1 you can use all firearms in category with negative modifier, or you can buy firearms at 1 and pistols at 1 so firearms are at 1 neg mod except pistols what don't suffer this.<br /><br />I have also bundled some other skills, so you don't have necessarily to buy every single skill, but those are bundled so you know something about them, but aren't expert in whole skills variety in that category.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04674233268949925440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423678674802842720.post-23358320982979884952011-01-12T07:38:33.060+02:002011-01-12T07:38:33.060+02:00Nuurori, I thought the same ;) Well seriously, If ...Nuurori, I thought the same ;) Well seriously, If you already use D8 and D10 I don't see why not to use also 12. Many games are single die-type games, and basically every game except D20 uses single die-type, so I want other dice to my game.<br /><br />And yeah, added skill lvl 4.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04674233268949925440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423678674802842720.post-80657522434492839582011-01-11T17:31:34.598+02:002011-01-11T17:31:34.598+02:00Additionally, this would allow for some kind of &q...Additionally, this would allow for some kind of "expertise" subskills for which you could give additional +1s. So say Fighting Skill Level 2, but with a speciality in Battle Axe, would have +2/+3 or d8/d8+2 (Fighting/Battle Axe).Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423678674802842720.post-22982331723334648482011-01-11T17:02:50.374+02:002011-01-11T17:02:50.374+02:00Just because d12 exists, you should :DJust because d12 exists, you should :DNuurorihttp://space-jerusalem.comnoreply@blogger.com
