Shouldn'it be fairer if defender wins in this case ?
If I've understood the mechanisms (Astral + 1D6), then currently a +1 advantage in Astral gives an attacker 72% to win, and even with -1 he still has 50% !
As I understand it, with a -1 disadvantage the attacker gets only 42% chances to win. Actually the attacker always gets (6-difference)/36 % better odds to win, as long as the difference is less than 6 (then it's either suicide or automatic victory).
You're right, D6 are "discrete" and odds can't be 50 % !
Anyway I'd prefer defender to win ties so the attacker has to take more risk. In this case at same Astral level attacker will have 42% to win, and at advantage of +1 will have a 58% chance, seems fair to me.
