| Cursed Luck can, in fact, bring a fellow below the traditional minimum result for rolling a DRN (or even a regular 2d6). It thus increases the chance of being [[Protection#armor-defeating-hits|critically hit]] more than you might think, since it adds two potential values (zero and 1) for getting critically hit. It cannot make the result negative, however; the minimum is **zero**. Out of 1296 Cursed Luck DRNs, around 490 will be 2 or lower, around 625 will be 3 or lower, and around 758 will be 4 or lower. For 1296 regular DRNs, 36 will be 2's, 108 will be 3 or lower, and 216 will be 4 or lower.

| | Even with only a 2-point change in the floor, Cursed Luck massively increases the likelihood of being [[protection#armor-defeating-hits|critically hit]], which requires a 2 or lower for the DRN result. Out of 1296 Cursed Luck DRNs, around 490 will be 2 or lower, around 625 will be 3 or lower, and around 758 will be 4 or lower. For 1296 regular DRNs, 36 will be 2's, 108 will be 3 or lower, and 216 will be 4 or lower. Thus: |
