They're certainly more successful than Arstotzkan tactics, that's for sure.

@Iituem:  how has Forenia changed in the five years magic has existed?

It's gotten a lot bloodier, for one.  Beyond that I leave that up to you, and to what degree magical innovations have hit civilian life.

The windmill business has really taken off, I can tell you that much.

Inventing a lance has suddenly become a top priority.

Anyway, just a curiosity. What is your average roll?

Across all rolls?  Gimmie a sec, I'll tally it up. 

What's your average?

Just counting research rolls and not including the advantage/disadvantage modifiers, we've rolled an average of 3.19

Out of our first six rolls, four of them were 1's.

We got 3.4, including revisions, but not orders or modifiers

Including either would drop it a lot .

Yeah, 3.19 is including revisions, too.  Including order rolls would drop ours even further.

It's not all about luck. There's strategy involved. You could roll sixes across the board developing a bubble-blowing spell and it wouldn't affect the gamestate in the slightest.

Just counting research rolls and not including the advantage/disadvantage modifiers, we've rolled an average of 3.19

Ah, I miscounted. You're right, it is 3.18... which is close enough to 3.19, I guess.

I worry that Arstotzka is not being persistent enough? Like, are you giving up on things if they don't work first try? It took us 3 revisions to get our most potent weapon to actually work. Gotta stick to it, you know?
