Implement Shadowrun 4

Paraphrased from Wikipedia 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadowrun#Fourth_edition_changes>:

"The target number is fixed at 5, roll six-sided dice equal to the skill and 
its linked Attribute, and 
rolls them, counting the number of dice that show 5 or 6 as "hits". The number 
of hits is compared 
to a pre-determined amount (or Threshold) set by the GM for the roll. If the 
number of hits equals 
or exceeds the threshold, the roll is a success.

A "glitch" is when at least half of the rolled dice come up 1s. A glitch 
results in a minor 
inconvenience or setback for the player, though it does not necessarily mean 
failure as long as 
enough hits were still scored. However, if a person rolls a glitch while 
scoring no hits at all, it is 
considered a "critical glitch", and is substantially more serious or 
potentially even fatal."
