Aprewett Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Sorry, very noob question. Why does the listed ranges for results not take into account the surrounding result range. Ability 50, Critical on a 1-3, Special 4-10.... Why does it show 1-10 for special? Are there times when a critical is not possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E.g., what's a Crit Ride? Or Peaceful Cut?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aprewett Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 Maybe not clear enough. I understand the difference in system description. But why does the table not list these numbers as per my example. On the chart. Why show the overlap in numbers between the different results.

It's still clear that if you have a 50% skill the you get a special on a 10 or less and a critical on a 3 or less. They could list the exact ranges, sure, but I don't see how it would improve things. You just get the lowest level of success you rolled regardless of whether the numbers on the table overlap or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to take a guess... You seem to not be as green as all that so, I will assume that you have not made a mistake and that the data you quote is correct. If so, there are a lot of little details that have been missed, typos that have not been caught and a hell of an errata sheet/booklet to be written, i have to assume that is the case here. If the table does not work the rule of 1/5 of a skill being a special and 1/20 being a critical remains true. All that being said does not change the fact that the game is great and just needs a clean up in aisle three as it were.Good luck and enjoy. Oh and keep paying attention to your intuition. It seems to work fine. Edited February 9, 2020 by Bill the barbarian 1 Quote ... remember, with a TARDIS, one is never late for breakfast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aprewett Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 It only made a difference if there was some reason for doing it like that - the display on the chart. It was a simple and innocent beginner question, but your tone has made me feel suitably chastised, so well done. I was only looking to see if there was a reason for it. I was only reading the QuickStart rules, and was thinking, maybe the full rules had some ruling like; you can’t critical if you have a certain injury level or some other relevant impediment to a ability roll. Moving around and stepping over the mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm - that's actually something worth considering.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAnotherVingan Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 In the case of weapon skills a critical is also a special. You apply the effects of both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
