[QUOTE="Syrsuro, post: 4417611, member: 58162"] No it doesn't. The odds of getting any particular number between 3 and 12 are the same in all three of the following cases. 1) Roll d12, reroll any value less than or equal to 2. 2) Roll d10, add 2. 3) Modify a d10 so that the 1 is renumbered 11 and the 2 is renumbered 12. In all three cases, you have exactly the same odds (1 in 10) of the final value being any specific value (including max). The only differences are pschological. The real question is: What is the RAI (as opposed to the RAW) for weapons with more than one die contributing to [W]. The RAW says: "reroll any die", and I think this clearly states reroll 1s and 2s on both dice of a weapon that does 2d4. But this can have a much greater effect in such a case (the weapon now does an average of 7, as opposed to an average of 5, gaining 2 points on average rather than only one). I suspect the RAW should have been worded so that you either only reroll one of the dice if both are lower than the threshold OR (more likely, and easier) you reroll both dice if the total [I]value[/I] is lower than the threshold. This seems like a clear case where errata is needed. Carl [/QUOTE]
