VERPINE

[Tupteq]

We are using -1D (or more) untrained modifier (instead of +5), it is similar to present untrained modifiers (-2D for use swoop without skill and possibly some more) and matches to untrained modifier in D6 Space. In some situations it does apply, in other not. We usually use a common sense to determine when to apply it.

[Esoomian]

So would you give a verpine just +1D on technical skills thay had not trained in (+2D -1D)?

Yeah that makes more sense although I'm not sure if I prefer +5 difficulty or -1D

I like +5 difficulty myself. -1D, while mechanically similar, takes away the idea of "natural aptitude" the attribute levels are intended to represent in an effort you've never tried before. Taking 1D off of that kind of goes along the idea of your attribute core being an ideal concept of your natural aptitude that you can't quite attain

its funny, my players like rolling lots of dice. so they would prefer to up the difficulty rather then lose dice.

I usually up the difficulty, I find that players still put the attempt and plus they like to roll lots of dice don't want to take that enjoyment from them.

[vong]

yea. its hard to do that though when some players are way better then others at things, so its impossible for anyone but that character to do anything. granted in a pbp method its allright, but when you meet, and a player is abscent, the party is SOL

hmmm, kinda yea. but you can say that verpine are good at what they have been trained at, they pick it up fast, but until they have some training, its the standard rules.

I wouldn't advise setting a double standard. You run the risk of breaking the game and overcomplicating things.
