Reword Rule 2.11 Junk to:-
As a weekly action, any Seller may Search their Trash Bin for Junk by rolling a DICE20 and a DICE10 and gaining an amount of profit equal to the positive difference between the results of the two rolls.
The important bit here is “equal to the positive difference”. Making implicit something we were apparently taking for granted.
I explicitly designed the rule so that it would be the absolute value.
Difference between two numbers is usually taken to mean a positive value. It’s the distance between them on a number line. But people also use “difference” to mean “subtract the second number from the second”.
Difference between two numbers is subtraction by default, I thought? Also, technically “positive difference” breaks on a zero but that is irrelevant.
okay, I was thinking of it in the second regard. I think a definition in the Appendix is a good idea though.
A Definition in the Appendix could include a line about what Raichu mentioned, if that’s necessary.
