Hi Stan, Everyone.
	I've placed the cumulative
chance of hitting into the new
column.  This is a nice curve IMHO.

	To get a 75%+ chance in all
three attributes requires you to
get 14, 14, 14 rather than 12, 12, 12.
It still has a sweet spot but that
has never bothered me as much as it
has Ty (I think) and in any case, the 
big improvements are never more than 
8 & 1/3% and are spread out over 5 
different values.

	How would you handle adding 
dice to the difficulty, Stan?

	
	On a simply practical side, I 
think that people are more likely to
want the simplicity of 3d6 or 1d20.

	Rick
