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.

Famous quotes containing the word system:
“Exploitation and oppression is not a matter of race. It is the system, the apparatus of world-wide brigandage called imperialism, which made the Powers behave the way they did. I have no illusions on this score, nor do I believe that any Asian nation or African nation, in the same state of dominance, and with the same system of colonial profit-amassing and plunder, would have behaved otherwise.”
—Han Suyin (b. 1917)
“We find ourselves under the government of a system of political institutions, conducing more essentially to the ends of civil and religious liberty, than any of which the history of former times tells us.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“... the yearly expenses of the existing religious system ... exceed in these United States twenty millions of dollars. Twenty millions! For teaching what? Things unseen and causes unknown!... Twenty millions would more than suffice to make us wise; and alas! do they not more than suffice to make us foolish?”
—Frances Wright (1795–1852)
