I agree.

I don't =
think anyone has mentioned this, so I will. The only problem I see with thi=
s chart is that for 2D6 probablitis are pretty simetrical(sp?) around the n=
umber 7. So a average roll causes little damage, while now a average crit c=
auses some additonal damage and an excepionally low one cause little damage=
, while an exceptionally high one causes lots of damage. I think they way t=
hey did it makes more sense, however I agree with you about the chart being=
 balanced.
That is my comments.
