Converted from Phorums BB System

I quite agree that extremes are rare and that d100 produces a flat distribution system. However, my original point is that the purpose of the roll is to score LESS THAN a specified number - in this case the EML which can be anywhere between 01 and 00. It stands to reason, therefore, that the higher the EML, the greater the chance of rolling under it on d100. A bell curve distribution, in these circumstances, is of absolutely no advantage and is therefore irrelevant.
