Just a clarifying question on the rules for monsters--it looks like in the monster section they give suggests for dice for the successes it takes to defeat one, d6-d8 for a weaker monster and d10-d12 for a really tough one or something.
Are these expressed in dice because they're intended to be rolled to determine how many successes are needed? Or does expressing them in terms of dice have some other intention I'm missing (like that they're meant to be stepped down or something)?
