Simple Twenty Rules

The following rules follow the ideas of d20.

Basic Task Resolution System

These rules assume a standardized system for determining the success or failure of any given task. That system is:

           d20 + Modifiers vs. Target Number

The Modifiers and Target Number are determined by the type of task.

If the result of the d20 roll + the Modifiers equals or exceeds the Target Number, the test is successful. Any other result is a failure.
