Looking over the general chart, I note several "quick factoids" to keep in mind when GMing Reign. Given that most players will be rolling pools of 5 to 8 dice most of the time, a width 3 occurs ~5 to 10%, and a width 4 occurs ~1% of the time. So width 3 should be considered outstanding, and a width 4 roll is truly a critical success! Spells of difficulty up to about 7 aren't that hard to cast; as I'd wager most casters have at least 7 dice in their pool, so they have at least a 50% chance of getting a difficulty 7 or below spell on the first try. Thanks for undertaking this! Great analysis!
