Has anyone made any attempts to create a more unified mechanic for all the various things that are done in SR4?
By this I mean changing things like Hacking to use Attribute + Skill... Currently I'm thinking of putting more emphasis on thresholds and also changing the way in which equipment is used. Basically here is what I have in my head... All rolls (or at least most) are Attribute + Skill verses a set threshold. Equipment lowers the threshold. Example - Maglocks: Breaking into a maglock would be Attribute + Skill (Maglock Rating x2). The use of a Maglock Passkey (or other such equipment) would lower the threshold by its rating. Example - Hacking Hacking a system would be Logic + Hacking (System x2) - or maybe (System + Firewall, or Firewall x2). The use of the appropriate program would lower the threshold by its rating. Of course combat breaks this trend, but then again combat is a little more detailed.... Anyone else come up with anything like this? I've searched through Dumpshock but haven't found any attempts... |
