Thanks for the help. He took a liking to rolling a number of dice based on your proficiency with the task and trying to hit a target number. Apparently another one of my friends is trying to do some similar thing (small world), so this will most definitely be helpful to them too.


Dresden is a unique system, I think. You have a set proficiency with a skill, and roll 4d6. 1's and 2's are -1s to the total, 3's and 4's are neutral, and 5's and 6's are +1s to the total.

So if I were to roll 4d6 and I got a 3, 6, 5, 2, and the skill was at 3, it would come out to 4.
