[Rq-rules] RQ for D&D players

[Tom Cantine]

Yes, I remember the analysis. It was the fumble tables. Imagine ten 
thousand warriors in a big battle. Assume they're all over 70%, and 
only fumble on 00. In the first round of combat, 100 will fumble. Six 
will hit "nearest friend", six will "hit self", not counting those two 
who must roll two or three times on the table.

Twelve hits on friendlies, two of them effectively criticals (maximum 
damage ignoring armour).
