[Design] d100 mechanic

[Curufea]

I still prefer cards to dice ;-p
  It's the potential to be more of a imagination stimulator - they can  have pictures and words.  Which are more interesting than just  numbers..
And cards are as tactile as dice, and can be played with in more variation.

A cute thought from last night...

Tradition has it that a d100 roll uses '00' as 100. In
Mimesis (like RQ and other BRP games) this would be
bad juju... But why not make it good juju?

Why not read '00' as zero, an automatic critical
success (as much as is possible within the bounds of
reality)?

In addition the skill system currently rates from
00-100 (zero because it is possible to have 'no skill'
in a subject), which is really a range of 101. Why not
make it 00-99 and if anyone reaches 100 they make a
"paradigm shift" (to use Kuhn's phrase) in the subject
in question?

I'll get back to my studies now...
