Dice rolled during the game .... D10s instead of D6s??

Has anyone done a conversion of the various dice rolls / stats / charts in the game that [mostly] uses D10s instead of D6s??
Basically my thoughts / feelings are that the D6 based stats and D6 based rolls are very granular and having +1 in a certain stat [like AG or AV] creates a difference that is too large.
For those folks that think that "doubles" / +MV / +AV / +AG / +ST occur too often if you use 2D10 on the improvement roll you easily get around this potential issue ....
Has anyone done such a conversion and how has the playtesting gone for that group / league?

doubles don't occur too much
besides a fair few players don't really need them and they just add to TV more now than previous rules
my dark elf team after 12 games hasn't got a single doubles or stat increase
how is that for too often ;]

I agree. Off topic, but that is why I like the separation of AG into "Cool" for ball handling and "Agility" for everything else.

Think there was an article about using the d8 somewhere, given that it also came with the box and players are more likely to have one compared to a D10

I think it would make more sense to go to a D12, that way you can double existing modifiers, and still introduce half points of AG (e.g. cool/agile as Joe was saying). In a D12 system, 'cool' could be a normal skill.

Diversion: I also like the idea of D12 on armour rolls. AV9 is too much better than AV8 I feel. Would need the injury table redoing before it could be used on injuries though. Maybe 11/12 = cas, and 9/10 = KO. Reduces chances of a KO from 3/12 to 1/6, but prob of a cas stays the same.

Might be neat. You could always keep the 2D6 for Injury rolls since its the same for everyone.
Differences for likelihoods (to beat AV):
Code: Select all
2D6 D8
AV 5 72.2% 58.3%
AV 6 58.3% 50%
AV 7 41.7% 41.7%
AV 8 27.8% 33.3%
AV 9 16.7% 25%
AV 10 8.3% 16.7%
We might want to shift the scale one so the chances of breaking AV8 (the null value) stayed the same.
