<br />
Some players prefer alternate ways of rolling dice in [[Action]]; here are some examples. <br />
<br />
=== Standard Roll ===<br />
This is statistically identical tot he normal standard roll.<br />
<br />
Roll two six sided dice. The dice should be marked; one is the positive die and one is the negative die. Read the lower of the two dice; this is the result of the roll. If the two dice are the same, the result is +0. If the higher dice is a six, you get an exploding result; roll and additional d6 and add to the result. This additional die is open-ended normally, that is keep rolling and adding as long as you roll sixes.<br />
<br />
Confident rolls and special results work just as normal.<br />
<br />
=== Outcome ===<br />
Rather than calculating the outcome of a successful roll, just make a confident roll and read the result of the outcome. If the difficulty of the original roll was less than your skill, add the difference to the result.<br />
<br />
This is not statistically identical to the original rule, but the difference is not that great.</div>Starfox
