When adding an open ended 2d6 to many of the numbers it introduces enough randomness that you're guessing at the results anyway.

When you watched Lord of the Rings did you sit there thinking "No problme Gandalf, you've got your sword +5 vs Fire Demons and that wimpy Balrog only has 2 Magic Resistance. You've got a 65.5% chance of winning this fight even without a +3 shiled!"? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif <hr /></blockquote>http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif Yeah, I don't care for stats of movie characters; I *do* care for unit stats in a strategy game.
