It's possible that they need to be "troublesome" more consistently.
I'm no mathematician, but how often (statistically) does your method produce fallout versus the original dice method?
Paul T:
I honestly can't say--I haven't run the numbers on it.
It IS based on the same math as the original system, so it preserves its principles and tendencies. But it is entirely possible that it generates fallout a little less often. So far, in tests, it felt about right, but maybe a little less common.
I may have a chance to playtest the rules this Saturday, incidentally. Stay tuned!

How did you handle the fact that drawing cards removes skews the odds of later draws (i.e. since you drew the Ace of Diamonds, it is no longer possible for the Ace of Diamonds to come up on the next draw). Or, asked another way, how would a card-counter game the system?
Paul T:
I really can't say--it's not a concern of mine.

couldn't you always use two decks shuffled together?
and then, after any conflict, you re-shuffle?
