I know your not keen on using multiple dice, but what about modifying the Reflex System to a simpler level. This idea is sort of Shadow Run like but it could work. Just make each level of skill equal to 1 die rolled for success. The number of successes rolled is your MOS. You can still use Characteristics for target numbers but now your only using one (or the average of multiple Characteristics together). I would use D10's instead of D20's (most gamers have more D10's than D20's). You would also have to change the Target Numbers and Margins of Success to a lower set of numbers (your MOS will be lower with each (skill) die roll equaling only 1 success). Every 1 (on D10) you roll (Outstanding Success) could add 1 MOS to your total. You could also use the version 2.0 rules making it an outstanding success when you roll a 1 with a target number of 5 or more. Rolling ALL 10's could be a Catastrophic Failure. Under this system, more skilled characters would not be subjected to a Catastrophic Failure (due to the odds of rolling multiple 10's) as much as lower skilled characters would. I would use the standard 2013 auto fire rules with this system.
