Is Progression 2d6 the Right Base?
Choose Progression 2d6 when the campaign fantasy depends on becoming categorically more capable over time. The system is built for Worlds where rank changes permission: a novice cannot erase a vast power gap with one lucky roll, while earned leverage, a narrow Technique, or a breakthrough can change what becomes possible.
The reusable layer is already solved: qualitative Tier comparison, 2d6 consequences, dynamic ratings and resources, narrow Technique Reach, Path stages, mastery, Growth Marks, breakthroughs, Conditions, Threat pressure, Progress Tracks, and AI-GM state discipline. The creator's job is the identity of the World, not rebuilding those foundations.
This is a strong base for cultivation, tower climbing, isekai, academy advancement, awakenings, monster evolution, shonen-style arcs, and superhero growth. It is especially useful when a creator needs the GM to respect power ranks without maintaining giant damage tables or power scores.
Use another foundation when the main attraction is tactical grid combat, exact damage optimization, detailed weapon simulation, point-buy build engineering, or a campaign where capability remains mostly flat.
