RIFTS skill system

I like percentile systems. BRP in its Stormbringer-variant was my first "love" in the hobby. With Palladium -- though workable -- it always felt tacked on (which it of course was).

The Megaversal System is basically just another d20-roll-over-target# system. For sake of clarity, I would make it that way all across the board.



First of all, I would convert the percentages into 5% steps. Many people do this already, especially for leveling up. At this point, 5% in a skill is synonymous with 1 point on the d20 scale (e.g. a skill at 35% becomes a 7). However, instead of converting the skills to the d20 scale and just rolling under with a d20, I would actually ADD them to the d20 roll and try to target a 20. Modify the target number according to the situation.



I would say that with this sort of streamlining, using the 'Pundit model of skill categories'© is a given. One now adds additional bonuses to the roll, if the character has a proficiency in the skill category.
