Simple Method for interpolating combat values

[Hugmenot]

One issue with a plus and minus die is the following:

If the Direct Fire is exactly 22 factor. The plus die is 8-sided but eight is treated has 0 so it can never go to the 30-column. If you roll a "1" on the d8 and a "3" on the d6, the net is -2 and thus the fire would drop to the 16 column. I believe there are several ways to solve this issue.

I think the approach definitely has merits if one believes every factor counts (which is a very valid position in my opinion) and/or wants more variability. It will require a more time to play a scenario but maybe only marginally so after the process becomes routine.

I encourage you to submit the process to Avalanche Press as a potential Daily Content column after you test it out.
