I strongly dislike the idea of awarding exf the GM having to keep track of the difficultry
of a skill when awarding checks. Putting it back into the mechanic of gaining
the skill is far, far more sane, in my popinion.
I offer the following :
Very Hard Skill: 1d2 (or 1)
Hard Skill: 1d3
Medium Skill: 1d6
Easy Skill: 2d4
Why 2d4? Well, RQ already uses d4 for a few weapons, so the players wouldn't
have to get a new die. Secondly, the average for 2d4 is 5 and the maximum
is 8. This is not as gross a difference from 1d6 as is 2d6.
Just my 2 bolgs worth...
PS: I really HATE the idea of having the GM keep track of difficulty for
skill checks--I don't just dislike it. I speak as a GM, here.
