I had called it ...I have used this mechanic before. I had called it a Karrma Dice and used it with the LAW system. Karma can be both negative and positive, so I use it both ways. Either take the die rolled away so the end result benefits you or if the GM gives you a negative karma die then leave the result that benefits the bad guys. Whatever the case the mechanic works. It takes away some of the math and simplifies/streamlines it. I would love to see you put it in the rules. The new DnD rules on disadvantage/advantage uses this mechanic and it works very well, makes game play faster. Anyway those are my thoughts."It's Unbelievable"https://www.blogger.com/profile/01366127119329980467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8615253283819094516.post-58989039714551492232015-08-07T21:30:47.560-07:002015-08-07T21:30:47.560-07:00This comment has been removed by the author."It's Unbelievable"https://www.blogger.com/profile/01366127119329980467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8615253283819094516.post-71696231999706426722015-08-01T18:40:12.953-07:002015-08-01T18:40:12.953-07:00Hey chin up amigo, my thanks to you! :)Hey chin up amigo, my thanks to you! :)Fenway5https://www.blogger.com/profile/14870312188585916750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8615253283819094516.post-30471588182459407672015-08-01T17:07:18.302-07:002015-08-01T17:07:18.302-07:00thanks, buddy. that's a ray of light in my lon...thanks, buddy. that's a ray of light in my lonely corner.ewookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00575992937649487920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8615253283819094516.post-16721503503842005542015-08-01T12:56:53.139-07:002015-08-01T12:56:53.139-07:00No worries at all, we may not always agree--but I ...No worries at all, we may not always agree--but I certainly appreciate and respect a well reasoned contrary opinion!

The base test is still a 3 dice test like a trained skill but you add a fourth "expert" die to the attempt. For the test result, use any 3 of the 4 die rolled.ewookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00575992937649487920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8615253283819094516.post-40785579742225196642015-07-31T20:47:11.952-07:002015-07-31T20:47:11.952-07:00i take that back.
