I want to clear up the rumors, thoughts or misconceptions about the critical tables.
Some people over at theRPGsite believe the "math is borked" based on some comments from the former developer. I guess the story goes like this;
The combat tables were going to follow the design of "MERP" and it was decided to to combine the critical tables into the hit tables (a cool idea btw...), but the math was not "adjusted" to accommodate for the padding in the critical tables? It was suggested it was off by between 20 - 50. So the proposed solution would be to "pad" DB for certain characters like the Heroes, villains, etc. (my idea).
Is this an accurate complaint/revelation?
