The way it is now, you only crit on a raw roll of 2 or 12.  Adding +4
relative degree sounds good to me - anybody else have an opinion on

Hmm - I posted this two days ago - did it never get through?  It's true
no one commented on it, but I thought other posts of mine at that time
were being commented on.  The subject had the word Scale in it, I hope,
