Re: Magic Item enchantments: Chance of critical failures.

[Rick Smith <rick_ww@lightspeed.ca>]

Hi Thomas,
  It changes the failure rate from the way we were (incorrectly) playing it.

  I think I have figured out how the TFT rules evolved.  I think that in an
early draft of TFT, an 18 destroyed ALL enchantments on an item, and
that that rule was revised before Advanced Wizard went to print.  The
phrase "... value of the UNDERLYING item..." was left over from that
old rule set.

  Warm regards, Rick.
