Now, of course, I feel even unluckier for getting total mods of +1 or lower and getting the re-roll.qpophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04398235894159011414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-16298449485238943592013-12-23T16:50:32.816-05:002013-12-23T16:50:32.816-05:00OK, here we go. The mean and median doing it that ...OK, here we go. The mean and median doing it that way are both 12, but the most-frequently occurring value is 13 (the mode). A score of 8 is actually in the 10th percentile, meaning 90% of the scores will be 8 or higher. An "average" score of 10 is the 25th percentile, so 3 rolls in 4 will be 10 or higher. <br /><br />As such, you should probably expect to have no penalties, and the only question is how many scores of note will you get. Erik uses 13-15 as +1, 16-17 as +2, and 18 as +3. Presumably this is symmetric backwards, so 3 is -3, 4-5 is -2, and 6-7 is -1. If that's the case, on six rolls, you expect a net bonus total of about +3 or +4.<br /><br />So, net/net, only about 5-6% of scores will hit you with a penalty, and about 50% will give a bonus of one sort or another. 4d6 drop lowest is fairly generous.Douglas Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292678529266123501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-22595592420383281622013-12-23T16:49:31.650-05:002013-12-23T16:49:31.650-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Douglas Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292678529266123501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-33082354713665977892013-12-23T16:22:56.417-05:002013-12-23T16:22:56.417-05:00I've always liked the 4d6 drop lowest just bec...I've always liked the 4d6 drop lowest just because of the unexpected nature of it. The trading is a new twist though, and I can really dig it. It gives you a little more control than just trying to figure out what your dump stat is going to be.<br /><br />Looking forward to some math!qpophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04398235894159011414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-58899568627821079842013-12-23T16:21:07.865-05:002013-12-23T16:21:07.865-05:004d6, drop the lowest, and trade scores 2:1.
