Thanks for covering this topic. It clarified a ton of things at my table.

One of the house rules we had in our D&D games was a similar mechanic for skill checks. So when I switched over to Traveller, it was not a new concept. However using it for combat really highlights how squishy the characters are in Traveller.

I love effect. I have players tell me effect from a target 8 as a default. If the target is higher or lower I do the math

Great video. I play on fantasy grounds and the combat damage effect is automatically added which is nice. For non combat skills it’s up to the GM how it’s interpreted. I let a high effect lower the time it takes if the Travellers ask for it

Another great overview.

Feels like something an experienced referee could determine on the fly rather than doing calculations, but I can see how a new referee might like to have these training wheels to keep him upright and on course.

What about jamming missiles? Is it 10 or 11 is needed?

[@andypickard7314]

I don't use effect. The rolls required come up so rarely I don't think it's worth the overhead.

[@docsavage8640]

I concur but it never hurts to have an optional rule for those who want to get crunchy
