10+, you get the effect you want/ask the questions you want.
7-9, partial success, this one is srot of complicated, but the DM will often give the player some form of choice in what they do. like: PC:"i want to disarm him and knock him on his ass." *rolls a 8* DM: "alright, you're not in a good enough position, and he's pretty fast, so you can either disarm him, or knock him on his ass".
6-, failure.
That's a little bit too far on the side of pure RNG - a stone cold killer, harden veteran with a dozen campaigns under his belt is just as capable in the field as a senile old tea-lady who wandered into the firefight without a stats-based modifier system
that's just an example of a base roll. a +0. an average guy dong a dex check for exaple. of course there should be a stat sys. behind it, otherwise we would have that exact problem. it can just help with understanding to show what an unmodified roll would look like.
