Anyone know of a study done on dice averages, specifically dealing with common rolls done in RPG's?
I know its kinda silly info to care about but I was wondering what the average of the ability score generation system
4d6 drop the lowest. rolled 7 times, drop the lowest roll. would be?
i.e
you roll 4d6 drop the lowest,do that 7 times to obtain 7 #'s, and then drop the lowest of those #'s
what is the average # you will arrive at? I did it 10 times and came out with an average of 13.13, and was wondering if that was accurate to the laws of averages.
Also was wondering the average occurence of 18's, 17's 16's and on down the line. and any other cool info that would go with that ( the average lowest score in one characters stats, the average highest so on, and so on. )
A program that made this easy info to extrapolate would be cool as theres a few other systems I would like to find out this kinda info on.
Thanx
