Well, I made a modified version of the Master Table... I'm still not sure it's better than a more MEGS-like Action and Result table pair, though. I don't have a web host as such for now, so I stuck it on Pastebin.

Just hit the Download link and tell your browser to open it for viewing, though it'll probably be a bit cramped on anything but very large screens. I'd stick it in a proper image or .pdf file for a final version, but this should give an idea of how it looks, at least. the major disadvantage mechanically speaking is that it limits the result to three intensities of success, which would probably shake out as 1/4, 1/2, and full effect, which would then have to be mathed out instead of being a second (simpler, with no more dice to roll or things to add, just find a row and count columns, then apply the result) table lookup.
Edit: Okay, looking at tht after I haven't been up for 20 hours straight, that table covers WAY too much range, at +-30 orders of magnitude. Even for linear stats, it would probably be a little on the course side... Bare minimum would be to make each step a single digit/OoM value, but I think I'm probably going to go back to the more rigorously tested MEGS version.
