His point (I think) is that the minimum to-hit chance is too flat, and should go down when the adjDX is low. He even posted a thread in House Rules recently suggesting replacing every -4 penalty with an extra die, which (depending on whether you also adjust the roll needed for an auto-hit to have lower chances for more dice), results in diminishing odds, as would make sense.

Some GMs might also just rule that adjDX lower than some point (2? 0?) simply has no chance.
Hmm. I see your point. I was thinking that dodging would make things harder, but while rolling 5 or less on three dice is 4.6%, rolling an 8 or less on four dice only lowers the odds to 4.3%. Not much difference.
