        Skill vs. Skill Resolution: The Pendragon method
(highest roll in the best category of success) is so much simpler
and easier to figure than anything else that discarding it
because it violates some artificial metarule is sheer folly.
Besides, before now low wasn't always better anyway, since to
make a skill gain roll you tried to roll *over* your skill. Use
the better method. A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of
small minds.

Days, I remember cities.  Nights, I dream about a perfect place.
Days, I dive by the wreck.  Nights, I swim in the blue lagoon.
