[PnP] how to resolve skill checks?

[Scott Adams]

Paul gave a good example.
Basically its a matter of figuring out if the skill is or 80 or 
normal.  Then assign the difficulty to the task.  That's your core 
chance on a d100 roll.   Certain situations allow special things like 
swimming or dodge tables or the like.  So will have to study those 
skills. I believe way back a decade or so ago someone came up iwth a 
rule variant for just % no more or 80s or difficulty factor.  I think 
it was Burton but not sure.  If i recall it was something from Hero or such.

If still unsure hollar!

On a side note to everyone current adventure is winding down.  IF 
this was a table game it would be 3.5 hours max more time to 
work.  But  a pbem is slower so takes folks time to get things 
settled.  Like now with plans on the final battles.  So I'm that close though.

I'll open to new players if need.  Actually theres room now to join 
but a bit limited in scope (usually as a prisoner or such to be free).
