Mazeworld overview

The above chart applies for ONE pellet, and may be multiplied by the amount of pellets that hit the target (up to 20).

How to read this?
Note: If the roll results were to exceed 20, treat it as 20 as there is no more than 20 flechettes per shell.

Usage notes

Flechette is a multiple-projectile type of ammunition. The amount of projectiles hitting the target is variable, and is also influenced by the failure threshold; lower scores mean less chances to hit, and higher scores mean higher chances to hit.

• It must be noted that failure threshold modifiers work differently with multiple-projectile ammunition than with single-projectile ammunition. For every increased accuracy (FT-1) occurrence, add 1 to the dice score. Likewise, for every decreased accuracy (FT+1) occurrence, subtract 1 to the dice score.
  • Should the modified result ends up being 12 or greater, it counts as a critical hit of a natural 12. Likewise, if the modified result ends up being 2 or less, it counts as a critical failure of a natural 2.
