I noticed a minor, inconsequential oddity in the description of the Archer Bush. Roll 2 dice and on a 4 (exactly) it has a flower. I was thinking that the odds must be quite specific in order to require exactly a 4.

But then I realized: the odds of a 4 are the same as the odds of rolling 3 or less. So I couldn't come up with any reason to require a 4 instead of the more usual n or less roll. Both of them are a 1 in 12 probability.

Doesn't matter. I'm just puzzling over an inconsequential choice. Maybe someone can enlighten me or point out my error.

Or ignore this as the trivia that it is.
