Default Re: probabilities of winning a DRN

hmmm...

and actually the oscillation is very significant right at 7 and 8, the 6 isn't affected by it. the probability for 7 is dropped, while the probability for 8 is raised. where normally 7 is 8% and 8 is 6%, 7 is closer to 5% and 8 is 11%!

A crafty player may find ways to exploit that!

The oscillation continues and increases in frequency but drops precipitously in magnitude. the reason is simple, every number that would usually be attained by rolling a 6 on the dice is now having a way in which that number could usually be rolled shifted upward. A depression in the bell curve is created where the number losing a way to be rolled is, while the number above essentially gains that extra opportunity to be rolled.


think about this when kitting up your mage with extra penetration. maybe can hit that sweet spot, and you might actually hurt your chances to soul slay that SC by pumping penetration up one more!
