Re: [DL] Wound Penalties



the reason a bust is for MORE than half the dice is quite simple once you
look at it from a statistical standpoint.  let's take a look at the chance
of busting with both versions..
half or more:
1d6=1 in 6.
2d6=2 in 6.  there is double the probability this way because either of the
dice could come up as 1.
more than half:
1d6=1 in 6
2d6=1 in 36
see, both of them have to come up 1s now, and reflect the greater skill.
otherwise, you'd want all your skills to be odd numbers....
