D&D dice
Just did an Irony Games email die roll for my dwarf:
Where would YOU put those rolls?
Addition: I posted this just before running for the train, so I didn't get a chance to add something rather amusing. My game group has their own way of rolling up characters, as just about every group does. In their case, they roll 4d6 and take the best three - but you ignore all rolls below 16, and keep rolling until you DO get a 16 or better. And after you've made that 16+, the next five rolls, however good or bad, must be taken. Of course you can assign the six rolls to your characteristics as you wish.
I used the Irony Games dice server to generate a set of 20 rolls of 4d6-take-the-best-three. I figured that the odds were excellent that I'd get a 16 or better in the first 14 rolls. Incidentally, 20 rolls are the most you can make at one time. And the rolls are numbered sequentially - it's a really useful tool.
So I made the rolls, and not only did I not get better than a 15 in the first 14 rolls - I didn't get anything higher than a 15 at all. I shot off an email to a couple of guys from the game, telling them about that rather remarkable result, and then tried for a re-roll.
The results, in order, were what you see above. I deleted the remaining 14 rolls, of course, but there were no other 18s among them.
notreal@gmail.com requested that 20 rolls of 4 6-sided dice be rolled.
The lowest die for each roll won't be counted.
Roll them bones ... your dice are
Roll 1: 6, [4], 6, 6 = 18.
Roll 2: 4, [1], 3, 1 = 8.
Roll 3: 3, [1], 4, 4 = 11.
Roll 4: 6, 6, 6, [4] = 18.
Roll 5: 6, 5, [3], 4 = 15.
Roll 6: [2], 2, 5, 2 = 9.
