just for a sense of perspective;
FAILURE: (roll a 1) 16.67% + (roll a 2) 16.67% + (roll a 3) 16.67% + (roll a 6 and either a 1, 2, 3, or 6) 11.11% =
that's an 11/18, or 61.11% chance of FAILING.
DEATH: (roll a 1 and then a 1) 2.7% + (roll a 6 and then a 1 and then a 1) 0.46% + (roll a 6 and then a 6) 2.7% =
that's a 13/216, or 6.0185% chance of DYING.
idk why but i feel if you rolled two 6-sided dice and then based everything in this game off of a 2-12 roll, the chances would be a little more favorable. maybe consider that for YMDTW VI?
