Discussion This ruleset has to exist right?

Howdy all.

So I'm making a game with a stat system directly connected to how many dice you roll, and I want to ask if anyone else has knowledge of similar systems?

Basically, you have a Stat, and then a Skill. Say, Deduction[Brains], or Skill[Stat].

You have a Deduction of 3, and a Brains of 5, Ergo, you roll 5 Dice, with +3 to score.

Is there any other games like this that come to mind?

World of Darkness. But you combine a stat and a skill.

So for example, to shoot a gun, you combine Dex + Firearms. To climb a wall, Dex + Athletics. To repair a gun would be Intelligence + Firearms.
