Combat Results Table

[coinspnnr]

The Combat Results Table in my copies of the books differs from the CRT found in the Seventh Sense program. I'm not sure if this is an intentional change or if you pulled your CRT from a different source.

The differences are in the 6 and 7 results line.

Line 6, +5/+6 column, your result is: E-11/LW-2.
The books I have show it as: E-11/LW-1.

Line 6, +7/+8 column, your result is: E-12/LW-2.
The books I have show it as: E-12/LW-1.

Line 7, +5/+6 column, your result is: E-12/LW-1.
The books I have show it as: E-12/LW-0.

Line 7, +7/+8 column, your result is: E-14/LW-1.
The books I have show it as: E-14/LW-0.

While 1 point here or there isn't a huge deal, those running with low endurance (17/23 hardcore for example) might notice a bit of help. The two Line 7 changes mean more. Fighting Kalkoths (and other nasty things like them), adding an extra number that avoids damage is huge.

What books, and what editions? I sort of seem to recall the CRT got tweaked between some printings. Depending on which one Dave sourced for SS, it may not be inaccurate.

I have books 1-20 of the Berkley/Pace publishing starting with a 1985 publishing of FFtD. I've only managed to get the Mongoose editions of 1-5. I checked all of them to be sure, but I don't doubt that the Seventh Sense table could come from a different publication of the books.

Fascinating issue! I opened up my own books (I own Lone Wolf 1-12), and my own books' CRT does not match the program's!

Investigating further, I remembered that I pulled the whole CRT from the Extended Combat Results Table here: web.ncf.ca/as300/excrt.html

You'll notice that the places you mention on the chart are indeed different on the extended combat results table.

I didn't even think to ever compare the first part of the table with the real tables in my books. I should have!

I have the perfect fix: If "Use extended combat results table" is selected, I will leave it as is. If it is unselected, I will use the original values (Indeed making the Kalkoth fights a little, though only a little, more possible.) Of course, I'll have a little tooltip in the Gameplay options explain the slight differences between the two.

Excellent find!

Okay, this has now been changed in the development version.

The REAL Combat Results Table is now there when "Use extended Combat Results Table" is not selected.
