System
Witch Hunter uses a d10 dice-pool based skill-set of rules. For any given task that the character wishes to attempt, the player rolls a number of ten-sided dice. This number equals the relevant ability plus the number of skill levels plus any relevant modifiers. For every die roll that equals 7 or more, the character has achieved one "success". If the player rolls a "10", it is counted as a success and the die is re-rolled. Re-rolled 10's are also re-rolled, which means that even a neophyte has a small chance of performing remarkable acts. If there are no successes and at least one "1", this is considered a "botch". If the character achieves sufficient successes, then he accomplishes the task. For some tasks, successes beyond the minimum cause additional degrees of success, such as a more potent attack.

The subordinates gained nothing by his assumption of authority, but it was not so in the other departments.”
