Actually Styopa is correct & you are some. It's in the
original version<br>
notes & discussions, but didn't become "official" if I
recall correctly.<br>
If I remember correctly the "official" one was to roll a D10
& if it was<br>
a 1 or 2 your character is left-handed, a "0" meant
ambidextrous. A<br>
variant on the D6/D12 included if the scores matched then the
character<br>
was ambidextrous. I have that hand written in my notes
somewhere.<br>
<br>
To address the being "Dexterous vs left-handed":<br>
Another variant for that I played with when I was doing a VSF
(now known<br>
as Steampunk) for testing setting variants back in '78 split
the<br>
characteristics into paired characteristics. The Basic routine
was to<br>
roll 2D10 (or 3D6 - is what I used originally) & assign
them to the<br>
"Parent Characteristic" (the classic ones STR, CON, etc). Then
you break<br>
up the value into two "Paired Characteristics" that match the
Parent<br>
(these are the ones that actually get used in game play when
you need to<br>
roll a basic percent or use an add-on). I then used the D6/D12
routine<br>
ofr D10 version depending on what Steve was using at the time.<br>
<br>
Hopefully the charts survive getting yahoo-ed. If not send me
an email &<br>
I'll send you the original chapter.<br>
