Line 20:
** The cardiac notch is a small dent in the left lung wherein the heart rests. The author took this to mean that "the left lung is smaller than the right", and made it so a lung crit is twice as likely to hit the right lung as to hit the left.
* [[You Fail Statistics Forever]]: Some events in FATAL are "(1d100)% likely" to happen. This means you roll a d100 to get the odds, and another d100 to see if it makes the odds. That is, you roll two d10 dice <ref>(technically "a d100" is two dice already, unless you have one of those huge golfball-like novelty dice, but the principle is the same)</ref> and see which one is higher. You can see why the results are less complex than intended. <ref>(For the record, it's 50.5% to get a second d100 roll equal to or less than the first.)</ref>
* [[Blatant Lies]]: The intro says you only need to know a little algebra, "and even that is relatively rare." It also says you only need two d10. Both of these facts are '''filthy lies'''.
** Ability scores are derived from averaging 'sub-abilities' rolled as 4d100/4-1<ref>Four 100-sided dice, totaled up, divided by 4, minus 1</ref> and modified by one of three different types of percentages, and conditions during the game may change your sub-abilities which means you need to recalculate your ability scores on-the-fly. Also, ability score checks are 3d10.
** And you need more that "a little algebra" because you solve quadratic formulas [[Flat What|to find out whether or not your rape slave is pregnant.]]
* [[Boobs Of Steel]]: An enforced inversion in the case of the female characters.
* [[Brawn Hilda]]: Any lady with physical strength.
