The song lyrics are funny but this is better used as an example of how bad Roll20 dice are. On a d6 the minimum and maximum results will occur 2-in-6 times, or 33%. Counting the highlights in those rolls, he is hitting the minimum or maximum on the die 78% of the time! Statistically this is a small sample, but it is pretty out of line for what should happen. 9 rolls only had 3 faces showing out of 6. This is extremely common in my experience with Roll20 (we have a weekly D&D 5E game that has similar peculiarities with randomness).
Snerk.
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, what is Galen still doing all the way down there at a mere 32 skill? ;)
I will gladly (and gleefully) take credit for that silly, silly macro. It makes me laugh every time.
