So I remember a while back on this site there was some discussion about a system like the Shadowrun 4th dice pool, but with the TN at 3 instead of 5, for greater reliability and a less insane result bump on an all-hit roll. That appeals to me, and I've given it a quick look-over, and it seems to me that the main issue for such a thing (compared to SR or AS) is that since a dicepool is outputting significantly more successes on average, either the pools need to be shrunk, or the hits need to be devalued. Shrinking the pools is rough because the 1-6 scale is already very tight. Devaluing the hits comes with other issues, most notably that the all-hit roll's effectiveness bump would be cut even further down.
Thoughts?
Dicepool: Xd6, TN3

TN 3? I've heard of TN 4, which has some interesting properties due to symmetry, but not TN 3.
