Purpose of "rolling to miss" rule

[hcobb]

A figure may voluntarily (openly or secretly) reduce its adjDX by any amount for the purposes of making any roll. For example a "roll to miss" is simply a "roll to hit" at adjDX zero. Therefore a roll of three on three dice is triple damage, four is double damage, five is a hit, 18 is a break weapon, 17 is a drop weapon, and any other roll is a miss. Note that you are more likely to hit friends who are dodging.
