How would I assign dice to the PCs for the dice pool though?

There's going to be liquid in that pool, eventually.

ever played gurps, warhammer, or shadowrun? That's several examples of how they work.

If you're going to change the number of dice, just remember that it will average out in the pool to a substantially higher number than before, so the DCs had best change as well unless you want the player to ace everything.

You can go by successes, or use a role and keep system.

Ah, I forgot about those possibilities... Funny how your brain can lock up around a particular dice system, innit?
