So, lets do this
0 : 1 or 2
1 : 3 through 7
2 : 8 -13
3 : 14 - 17
4 : 18 or 19
5 : 20

While slim it can still happen to get to move 6-12, with the d20 set up that way it can NEVER happen.

rolling 12 Jandar symbols in 12 dice has a probability of
.00000000046
Set up that way, it can never happen.
In the D20 system, you are much more likely to see someone move 4 squaddies 5 hexes.
People treat Ne-Gok-Sa like his ability (5%) will never happen. I think treating a pretending that a 0.8% likelihood as never happening is acceptable, especially given the dramatic increase in likelihood to move 4 squaddies 5 spaces.
Basically, the D20 system is more generous the vast majority of the time. The Valkyrie dice system is more generous in desperation cases, such as "I must roll 6 valkyrie symbols or I instantly lose the game"
