Oh, well, then I guess I stand at least technically corrected. I'll keep
using open-ended initiative here, though. I do like the idea of allowing
only the naturally unaugmented die to roll open-ended. That might even
things out a bit. Is that "Clarification Sheet" publicly available for
download anywhere? Although I no longer use the SRI rules, it would be
nice to have just for the sake of posterity.
