Hello guys.

I'm new on the forum, new to Apocalypse World.

Great  game, who really change the way i look roleplaying game. Thank to you Vincent.

But in RPG, there is a design principle i like : when your good at something you roll more dice. A dice pool. So tried to "hack" the AW roll.

...

Xd10.

First you need to add 2 to each stats (not Hx).

When the rules demand a stat roll (not Hx), roll (score+bonus)d10. called Xd10. You always roll one die, even if X is 0 or less.
   If you have at least one 10, count as a critical success (10+).
   If you have at least one 8-9, count as a partial sucess (7-9).
   Else it's a miss.

You can kick an advanced success from an advanced move if you have at least two 10.

...

Easy !

Let's talk about pro and con of this hack. It's war against the 2d6 supremacy ;-)

About statistic result : it's similar when the stat is between -1 et +4. Well maybe not +4. I have  done the math for you.

Stat         %critical       %Failure
2d6/Xd10    2d6/Xd10     2d6/Xd10
-1  1        08%  10%     72%  70%
 0  2        16%  19%     58%  49%
+1  3        27%  28%     41%  34%
+2  4        41%  35%     27%  24%
+3  5        58%  41%     16%  16%
+4  6        72%  48%     08%  11% 

Xd10 have a limitation with malus, as you will always roll one die. So it's not working with Hx. 2d6 have a limitation when bonus going high, with +5 go 100% success's chance.

...


Xd10 add a degree of success by counting the number of dice which score 8+. It's more about roleplay and game fiction than a rule mechanic but i like that.

Xd10 is easy to test. just play the hack during a session, if you don't like it undo.

Hacking the hack. You can use D20 instead of D10. count 19-20 like a critical and 15-18 like partial success. This will work well with Dungeon world, isn't it ?

Please excuse my grammar as i'm not comfortable with English. I hope you found my post interesting, as i found yours very interesting :-)
