Maybe this is just me, but I don't know what all this buys you. There's the old adage, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Well, the "to wound" table is simple...

... The system using d12s has two merits that I can see: 1. No table needed 2. Finer grained than the offical system; if you have a Str 1 higher, you get a (1...
