Mark is fairly accurate in this statement. I roll a bit above average
when doing Threshold Checks. :-/

Very true, though I've discovered that I seem to have been inflicted
with a
version of the field that manifests a diminishing retarder I'll humbly
call,
*ahem*, the Evans Dampening Effect, where the field fails to effect the
dice
outcomes at initial play, but increasingly does so effect with each
subsequent
play of a particular game.
The unscientific call it 'beginners luck', but it can show bizarre
effects
that are entirely opposing what the die roller considers 'good'. I've
been
at a point in a game where I'm so hosed, I'd just like die gracefully
and
try
something else. Of course, impossible dice rolls keep me barely in the
game.
