Hmm.  If I've read correctly, you never throw directly against a stat, but
against a target number with stat & skill modifiers.  That means that,
effectively, you only have 7 stat numbers: -3 thru +3.  For starting
characters without racial modifiers or such, that comes out as:

-2   1/36
-1   9/36
+0  16/36
+1   9/36
+2   1/36

Sounds like a lot of +0 stat modifiers!
