Re: (TFT) Bell Curve

[Edward Villarreal <edwardv@gmail.com>]

I think you could use d20's and still get the 'feel' of TFT's bell curve,
just use 3 d20's and scale attributes to match.  The advantage I see to
doing this is you could get more frequent attribute builds each of which
would represent a smaller increase in performance than would an attribute in
TFT's current system.  They would also come more frequently if you matched
the value of the attribute increase to experience cost.  I would still use
d6's for damage.  Still there is no need to fix whats not broken.
