Fighting Spirit Chart - Feedback needed

[Gunslinger]

This one has been bouncing around in my head since I made the Close Call chart a couple months ago.

The Fighting Spirit Chart is used when a wrestler ties his PIN roll but does not beat it AND it's a roll of doubles. Any feedback is welcome.

Roll	Result
1	You reverse the opponent's maneuver and go for the kill! Roll on Level 3 Offense!
2-3	You block the opponent's attack and launch an attack of your own! Roll on Level 2 offense
4	NO SELL! You shrug off the opponent's attack and the two of you exchange brutal strikes! Roll one die to see who wins the exchange: Even - You take over on Level 2 Offense Odd - The opponent wins the exchange and takes over on Level 2 Offense.
5	You block the opponent's maneuver but he strikes again. Opponent rolls on Level 2 offense
6	You absorb the move but are too tired to counter attack. Opponent rolls on level 3 offense

These are all good scenarios. The only possible suggestion I have is to convert the chart into a 2d6 format. The current 1 & 6 designations (involving Level 3 Offense) could be converted into different roll probabilities than the current 5 designation (a Level 2 Offense peg). The 1d6 formula makes the percentages equal even though the potencies are different.

This would also allow you to convert the current 2-3 designation (Level 2 Offense peg) into an equal roll probability with the current 5 (another Level 2 Offense peg). If you want to expand scenarios you can just throw in a few corresponding 'defense' pegs.

The chart below is handy because it not only provides all of the 2d6 roll percentages but also the number of combos that can be derived for each number involved in the chain. It makes it easy to cross number out of sequence in order to cherry pick.

This may be more like it.

Roll	Result
2	You ignore the damage to your body and go on a rampage, hitting the opponent with your finisher! Opponent rolls PIN plus your Finisher rating!
3-4	You reverse the opponent's maneuver and go for the kill! Roll on Level 3 Offense!
5-6	You block the opponent's attack and launch an attack of your own! Roll on Level 2 offense
7	NO SELL! You shrug off the opponent's attack and the two of you exchange brutal strikes! Roll one die to see who wins the exchange: Even - You take over on Level 2 Offense Odd - The opponent wins the exchange and takes over on Level 2 Offense.
8-9	You block the opponent's maneuver but he strikes again. Opponent rolls on Level 2 offense
10-11	You absorb the move but are too tired to counter attack. Opponent rolls on level 3 offense
12	You ignore the damage and get to your feet... only for the opponent to use his finisher on you! Roll PIN plus Opponent's Finisher rating!

The only thing I see that you might be able to change is that usually after a big head drop no sell (in the case of guys like Kobashi or Misawa), they get up, run after the guy and just flatten them with a lariat (Kobashi) or elbow (Misawa).

I LOVE the idea for this chart, and if I ever bust out the old NOAH bootlegs that Knapik (I think it was him) made, I'd use the ever loving hell out of this chart.

Is this ready to be archived Gunslinger?

I think this is a cool idea. I'm not sure I'd add the AND DOUBLES, but I can see the reason for that as it wouldn't have as much chance to happen.

I think the AND DOUBLES part should probably be optional, depending on how it fits into promoter's feds.

@ LWPD: Ready to archive, sir.
