That's what penalties for improvised tools, poor lighting, -30 degree temperatures with snow driven by a 40 mph wind, wounds, etc., are for.

I have no problem with a professional being a lot beter than an untrained amateur. kato13's graphs shows exactly what I mean. There is quite a gap between the hardest possible and completely impossible when skilled.
The second graph is more what I would want. But using a D100 and then get another value from a table would lose the elegance of the 3D20L check. I have a big pile of Phoenix Command and orher Leading Edge books if I want to go that route
A few pre-calculations and it can be a quite fast playing system.
I have been toying with a quick and dirty idea of using a D6 to create an open ended scale without gaps. The twenty sided dices would still handle the results between two and twenty. But if I go down that road, I guess I would get an itch to change the modifiers, etc, as well to take that change into account.
