There were also some creatures such as drow and other under dark minions that used other than a d6 for some surprise situations (d8).I suggest you look at the rules again.
"Each 1 of surprise equals 1 segment (six seconds) of time lost to the surprised party, and during the lost time the surprising party can freely act to escape or attack or whatever."
The immediately following table (which only lists to 3 segments) is for if both parties surprise the other - a 4 and a 1, for instance, gives 3 segments of surprise.
A 3 Dex character (-3 reaction speed) surprised with a roll of a 4 by a hellhound is surprised for a full SEVEN segments! Poor fellow!
Cheers!
I don’t think we fully Grocked those rules!
