Oftentimes I hear about a new rpg and I just want to know how the system mechanics work.
For a baseline I want to know (presuming it's a dice system) what does my character roll to:
- Persuade someone of something ?
- Pick a lock ?
- Avoid getting hit by someone/something ?
- Hit someone/something ?
And it is frustratingly difficult to find these basic answers inside games which are more than a single page.
