In fact all the rolls look kinda low...

EDIT: Looks like I was wrong. Learned something new today.

That could be precisely what is going on then. Is this documented anywhere? Do you know what the penalty is? 35% perhaps? That would make everything seem about right.

Status: offline 		it is indeed working as intended.

If size = 6 Or size = 7 Then moveRedux -= 10
If size = 8 Or size = 9 Then moveRedux -= 20
If size = 10 Or size > 10 Then moveRedux -= 30

made note to add this to future manual revision.

So in other words, you want "More Power!"?
