I think this is a good idea but it depends on the thread. A Cold Night in the Commonwealth has a lot of dice-rolling that you guys were doing, and of course I am very pleased to see you doing this! However dice rolling is not mandatory, so I can make guidelines for dice but I cannot enforce them in any thread, with the exception when I post as GM and give dice-people specific instructions on what to do.

So if you want specific rules for me to consider when tossing dice post them, and I will do some research on DND because I am not well-versed (admittedly). I will do a write up for us. Unless someone else would like to take the hand on this ...

lazy moderators.

I think each character's SPECIAL stats should have an effect on the rolls, same with whatever weapons they're using. For instance, someone with a low AGL would have a hard time using an automatic weapon, or whatever, since they could not track and react fast enough, and they would have a limited number of attacks per round as well. A sniper rifle would have a heavy damage roll, but the chance to hit in the hands of someone untrained or not strong enough would be appropriately low as well. And a shotgun would have a high chance to hit, of course, but without specialist ammo you won't do much damage at longer ranges.

But then you'd have to account for range, how close to your target you are, or whatever. And that might get complicated.

Basically, I agree with your suggestion and would add one or two of my own. >_>
