Re: Why Stars Without Number stole my heart
Ubiquity basically doesn't let you roll if you have less than a 50% chance of failure, and Shadowrun has it's buying hits mechanism. That's not even getting into thing's like Burning Wheel's 'only roll if it's interesting'.
Such systems, especially in dice pools,,aren't anything new but they're also sadly not that common.
So in Ubiquity a soldier with Athletics 6 might not need to roll to climb a cliff with proper equipment even though a Diplomat with Athletics 2 would. Opposed rolls aren't so simple, but as a dice pool system results are more predictable than, for 3xample, D&D5e.
