Open-Ended CoreRPG Tables Discussion
Since the statistics for open-ended d100 rolls aren't really flat, having a single table that includes all the result ranges expressed in the paper tables is not the same thing. I guess the main issue in using the CoreRPG table constructs is modified open-ended rolls.
Unmodified open-ended rolls could be handled through regular linked tables. For instance, a high open-ended roll would have results for the initial values from 1-95, and then a 2nd table would be the result for the 96-100 range, and then a 3rd table for the 96-100 range on the 2nd table. The same could be done on the opposite end, with the 1st "lower" table linked to the 1-5 result on the initial table, and subsequently "lower" tables linked to the 96-100 range of the previous level. How many tables have results beyond rolls totaling -300 on the low end or 300 on the high end?
