One thing about this, whether you give your players TN's or not, is
that it's much easier to figure out the "odds of Success" without
beinga math major. I was an English Major for a reason, and couldn;t
tell you the odds of rolling anything in the old game.

However, with a Fixed TN of 5, it makes it a LOT easier now to figure
these things out. And you can both adjust the threshhold as well as
imposing Penalties/Bonuses to Dice Pools in SR4, allowing you to
tailor the odds of success a couple ways.

<shrug> I liked the old system a lot. I like the new system a lot.
