Right. I just thought that was one of the options, especially considering HeroQuest adopts it. (The Mastery mechanic compensates somewhat, but it's still counterintuitive.)
Hence the Big-Endian vs. Little-Endian reference: if probabilities work out the same, I say choose the one that requires less thought. Yes, it's only one measly subtraction, and even those of us who are slow at arithmetic can manage it ... but it's one more mental step at the gaming table, when there are more important things to use brainpower on.
