[PnP] how to resolve skill checks?

[Burton Choinski]

I think that was my "target-12" system, that converted everything to EL and use 2d10+EL to beat the task difficulty (12 for "average" skils).

You don't need teh system, but you could just use teh conversions of eveything to EL.

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.
