tal4/omni resolution

[nightlamp]

Hi everyone,

Another ZeFRS newbie here. This game looks pretty awesome, I'm excited to run some ZeFRS-fueled S&S for my little group. I'm a little dubious about the color-chart though... I read in another forum post that someone made a 6-color chart with steps similar to the OMNI table's results; that prompted me to consider dropping the chart entirely in favor of something more like the "roll d20 + Talent/Pool + relevant modifiers and compare to resolution table" mechanic. Has anyone else experimented with this?

Hi nightlamp

Off the top of my head, the specific wounds system would need substantial reworking. A result of 16+ is a critical success in Omni, which would mean specific wounds have the chance to occur 25% of the time (as opposed to at most 18%, for characters with a Talent Rating of 26+). Aside from that I don't foresee much trouble.

Greuh. Never mind. I took a look at my copy of the TTA game when I got home this evening & discovered that 6-10 is partial success, 11-19 is total success, & 20+ is critical success. So specific wounds wouldn't really need that much work after all.
