Sorry about the confusion, I'm not the best at writing rules clearly and I'll be hiring an editor for future endeavors.

A level 6 cowpoke would instant kill on a roll of 3, 4, 5, or 6. Leveling up increases your instant kill range, not change the number.

Level 1 cowpokes would also instant kill on a roll of 3, the range doesn't really increase until level 4.

Sorry again for any confusion!

If a level 6 instant kills on a roll of 3-6 would a level 4 instant kill on a roll of 3-4?

But then why does a level 3 kill on a roll of 2-3? Would it not be just a 3?

I'm assuming a level 2 player would kill on a roll of 1-2?

Correct!

Ah, okay, I see where your confusion is coming from. Duels are treated differently than normal combat, so instead of rolling the standard 3d6 you roll Renown + Weapon Damage. An instant kill triggers when the total is less than or equal to your level.

That makes so much more sense, thank you! I've been wracking my brain and I'm glad to finally have my head wrapped around this mechanic.

Glad to be of help!
