Which as you say, in most cases is from a narrow range, if there is any modifier at all.Andy Bartletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683770320671028815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750858425589737642.post-8377410387892083402015-06-26T21:10:24.484+01:002015-06-26T21:10:24.484+01:00But I don't think AFF2 needs to go that far.But I don't think AFF2 needs to go that far.Stuart Lloydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100216520313336932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750858425589737642.post-80888211729188302772015-06-26T21:10:02.703+01:002015-06-26T21:10:02.703+01:00This is beginning to remind me of the massive disc...This is beginning to remind me of the massive discrepancy between PCs and monsters in Tunnels and Trolls.
