[QUOTE="Kinematics, post: 8986373, member: 6932123"] Your calculations aren't correct, here. Rerolling 1s and 2s does not remove 1s and 2s from the potential result. Whatever you roll the second time around, you keep. Here's a function that does that, and shows the results for the different weapon die sizes: [URL='https://anydice.com/program/2ec13']link[/URL] It remains roughly +1 to the average result as you increase along the die steps, going from 4.2 to 5.3 to 6.3 to 7.3 to 8.3 for d6/d8/d10/d12/2d6. 2d6 does gain a little bit over 1d12 when the reroll is factored in, with a net +1 instead of +0.5 if there are no rerolls, but it's not the +1.5 that your charts suggest. That said, there's still definitely a hierarchy of results that make some weapons definitively better than others, and that can be annoying, but the associated traits generally balance that out.
