Would he have escaped more often on the second chart if I rolled better (none of my 9d6 rolls were even average)?
Your rolls stink, what did you do to anger the dice roller? Okay, here are the notes, paraphrased from page 387.
1. The Grabee must BEAT the Body roll of the Grabber. Thus with 1/2 of your 30 Str, vs KL's 15 Str, either you have to roll a little better than average, or KL has to roll a little worse.
2. However, you get 1/2 your Str bonus for Martial Escape, so all you have to do is start rolling average, and you'll escape a 15 Str grab most of the time.
gurusql needs to chime in on how you get an extra 1.5d6; I can't remember how it's done here. I thought it was 1d6 + 1d3, but that's just a guess.
The Martial Escape cannot be used on the Casual STR escape since Casual STR is a 0 phase action and Martial Escape is 1/2 action. However if you ever need BODY on a half die, it is 0 BODY unless you roll a "6" then it is 1 BODY. Not important to this discussion, but STUN/BODY on a half die is 1-2 = 1 STUN / 0 BODY, 3-4 = 2 STUN / 0 BODY, 5 = 3 STUN / 0 BODY and 6 = 3 STUN / 1 BODY.
