A universal system. It uses a dice pool¸ rolling a number of d6's equal to your skill and taking the highest value (each extra six adds one to the result¸ so two sixes would have a total of seven). Action resolution is attribute plus the skill total vs difficulty. The margin of success or failure is very important in the Silhouette game; in combat¸ for instance¸ damage is multiplied by the margin of success¸ and illnesses and poisons have increasingly severe effects as the margin of failure increases. - A description fromdarkshire.netwith kind permission of John H.
