It probably does, but what the hell... live on the edge :)

Right... but there's a proposal coming down the pipe to remove that
restriction... Hence my qualifier "once we incorporate the concept of
split dice". I think the reason the current limit is there is we don't
want people rolling 3d6 against multi-attack and then 3d6 against
lethal attack, etc... split dice handles this nicely.
