[QUOTE="Pielorinho, post: 158037, member: 259"] C'mon, that's apples and oranges. You use English because: 1) It has a much large pool of speakers, so you'll communicate with more folks; 2) It has many more words, so you can communicate a greater range and subtlety of concepts; and 3) You speak English more fluently than you speak Esperanto, so you're likely to be more accurate in what you're trying to say. WIth an equation, what's the benefit of a complicated one over an equivalent, simple one? Interesting. Again, in my mind, the simple way to handle this is: 1d6+7 (1+6)/2 + 7 7/2 + 7 3.5 + 7 10.5 Why bring medians into it? And how does this relate to the first equation? I'm not trying to be snarky; I'm really confused on how you got to that first equation, something like 1 + (n-1)/2 Thanks! Daniel . Oh, I also tend to see "big rollers" use 1dX's while "conservatives" use 2dX's. Big rollers like the big hits of rolling big damage while forgetting the "1's". Conservatives, on the other hand, like the comfort that average damage brings. :) Same goes for threat ranges: x3 and 19-20/x2 Of course, I could just be biased... ;) [/B][/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]
