[QUOTE="tuxgeo, post: 4916908, member: 61026"] Hm: 3d6 eliminates all possibility of rolling 1 or 2; and you need to fudge it with rerolls to get up to a 19 or 20. Have you considered rolling 2d10 instead? That way, you get a triangle instead of Bell curve, but wider range (and curse ENworld's parser for forcing me to format this vertically, by automatically cancelling multiple consecutive blank spaces!
