Jackson Haime, for Screen Rant in 2020, compared the large number of rulebooks released for the 3rd/3.5 editions (12 different core rulebooks and over 50 supplements published in seven years) to the number for 5th edition and wrote, "Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition has been released for almost as long as 3 and 3.5 now, and only has 3 core ...

Rangers also had extensive tracking abilities, based on a percentage score, and were able to surprise opponents on a roll of 1–3 on a d6 (rather than a 1–2) while they themselves could only ...
In this case, if the character has a Strength of 3 Dots, and an Athletics Skill of 4 Dots, they get 7 dice in a Dice Pool that combines the two (such as weight-lifting or other feats of strength). Both systems roll their dice pool with the goal of beating a target number. In Chronicles of Darkness games the target number is always 8.
