The perfect dice roll?

PS : Love this game!!
0.73% chance of a 100 or better. Pretty slick!Zevan wrote:100 from dice
I'm playing on a 101 build (0.44%) and there's at least one player who has mentioned a roll of at least 105 (0.04% ~ I hadn't accounted for homeland in my first analysis).[/quote]

I've rolled 105 3 times (this roll is very uncommon), but 102 is not too uncommon. 102 is a nice roll, it basically means your average attribute is 15 exactly after bonus and race. Possibly the RNG is biased to the higher rolls, or possibly if you're rerolling repeatedly you tend to skip the low rolls very quickly. I assume that you are calculating the %'s quoted in your posts on the basis that each roll is 1d8+6?
This is true, but I simply call this a Uniform Distribution from 7 to 14 rather than interpreting it as a roll of a die. I haven't asked BW if this is true or if the distribution is skew (only slightly if so).Loriac wrote:Possibly the RNG is biased to the higher rolls, or possibly if you're rerolling repeatedly you tend to skip the low rolls very quickly.

Assuming Uniform Distribution, 105 or better will come up around 4 times out of every 10,000 rolls (!!!). I don't have my data in front of me, but I'm tempted to say 102 or better should come up somewhere around 2-3 times every 1000 rolls - note that the former (>=105) is a subset of the latter (>=102) and is thus included in the percentage.Loriac wrote:I've rolled 105 3 times (this roll is very uncommon), but 102 is not too uncommon.

Re: The perfect dice roll?
I saw several 101s, and then stumbled across a 106 - everything was 14 except wisdom (13) and strength (9).
Maybe not where I'd choose to put that 9, but rather a nice roll I thought!
I made him a rifter druidic healer, boosted end to 20 and perc to 25, added spot hidden and unarmed for skills, and away we go!

Re: The perfect dice roll?
Ok, scratching my head now - maybe my random number generator likes me?
I moved to a different computer and rerolled.
In less than 10 tries I came up with a 107! All 14s except Dex (13) and Concentration (10).
Blinked a few extra times at that one...
