This is why I think the thought process works. Since recipes *do* only have one static rank, they have to simulate the random +/- range somewhere, so they do it with the SP.

But, like I said earlier, random = fail. I'd much rather be inundated with information and dig through that to find what I need then have to play stupid guessing games due to sets of arbitrary random ranges.
