Negative Spell Power could pull the result below 1.

Purplebeard: I would argue that the first bullet point of 3.2.1 prevents that.

[Purplebeard] That would only be a problem if it reduced a roll of 10 below a 3. If you have a D or lower in Explosive Latin, the chance of an accident is a constant 30%.

I get that, but I assumed that the intention was that negative Spell Power increased the chance of an accident.

If this wasn’t the case, it’s still a bit unintuitive that Students with an F in LAT fail the check on a result of 6, 7 or 8.

It’s a bit unintuitive, but we can clean it up later.

The problem is with students having no grade in LAT. They can cast other spells, but have no defined spell power in LAT.

Good point Blacky, although it’s a pretty straightforward thing to fix.

NB, Roujo seems to have voted twice on this.

CoV, as it really can be fixed easily ;-) (I’m not concerned about neg. spell power.)

Yeah, sorry about the double vote, I forgot I had already voted. *blushes*

From the Ruleset: “Ungraded Grades give no Spell Power.”  I think that’s a pretty straightforward 0 for the purposes of addition. 

@Brendan: Wait a minute… So right now I would be better off not having studied a subject at all than having a D or worse in it? =P

Yes.

... Wow. =P
