[QUOTE="Ariosto, post: 5282709, member: 80487"] "Hussar's Ever Failing Saves"? No, I think the fellow just confuses himself as to what he's writing about -- before he writes something even more confusing. "A 100% death rate" normally means that [I]everyone[/I] dies. If 1 in 4 (or 25 in 100) die, that's what we call a [I]25%[/I] death rate. Even the chance of at least one death is not 100%. If the individual probability is 1 in 4, and there are 4 candidates, then there is about a 96% chance of at least 1 death. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hussar's game appears to be considerably [I]more[/I] lethal than old D&D. He can insist that it's "the same game", even though he has changed the fundamental structure. That makes communication pretty difficult, though, with his insistence that the rest of us "must" be playing a game with which we in fact are not acquainted -- because it exists only between his ears! The weight of evidence from his posts in various threads strongly suggests that (A) The old game itself would actually be "too lethal" for his taste. When we get down to it, (B) He is not interested in playing the old game with or without "SoD". The whole undertaking is tiresome to him, a means to ends that are not his. [/QUOTE]
