Hi everyone.
I am somewhat confused with the maneuver's difficulties.
The static maneuver's table states that you need a 111 result to accomplish an action if it is "medium difficulty" (+0).
It means that assuming a "medium roll ( 50 )" a character should have 15 ranks in that skill @.@
Arent difficulties terribly high in this game? Is it something i am missing?
1) Assuming you have 10 ranks in a skill +50, taking 1 round to take your time +10, you would need a roll of 51 to accomplish a medium task. That is without any stat bonuses or any talents that might come into play.
2) In RMSS I generally start PC's out at 3rd to 5th level and use the lower levels for complete untrained "noobs".
3) IMHO is it too high? No it is right where it should be as it takes time to learn a skill to be able to accomplish meaningful things. It is not just "ka-bam", I now know how to do things.
4) Yes it is different from a lot of games like D&D and others that grant you vast improvements at the first learning point.
5) I have found that it works great for the type of game I like to run and my players love it also. Yes at the beginning my players look at it a little funny be grew to love it very much as it simulated RL very well.
