I agree that its a little too confusing, you could however make it simpler by this change: skill.strength.pro skill = (Ewbank x 1/2 rounded down)* strength = 3 - 0 (sandbagged!, hard, ok for grade, easy) protection = 3 - 0 (nonexistant, scarce, ok, good) eg. well graded 16 hand crack good pro = 8.1.1 hard 15 off width with poor pro = 7.3.2 easy 13 on total choss = 6.0.3 11 run out slab = 5.1.2 This makes its simpler because all the figures are on the lines of higher numbers == harder/more dangerous. Even with that its still a little too complicated for general use.
