Drawing chits can be a pain, try my dice chart here:

This chart is used for those times when you've mislaid your damage chits
or
you can't find a clean cup anywhere! Just roll a D20 and a D12 and cross
reference to find the chit you would have drawn.
    It's not as good as rolling one set of damage dice though, but it
does
help as I've found. Ideally, it would be nice to roll one set of dice to
hit, and second set of dice to determine damage done to the target.
