This is not difficult math. 1d4+2 is the same as 1d6 drop 1s and 2s.

I've used this method in other games without any question before. 1d5+1 is 1d6 drop 1s, for example.

Neurotic would be right if we were doing: 1d6 reroll 1s and 2s ONCE. Then my method does not work. But usually, reroll 1s and 2s means, as long as the result is 1 or 2, reroll. And thus the smaller die size works fine.

You are right with the math. I re-rolled once initially and that stayed with me. But I rolled additional dice after the discussion about the method.

My mistake for math autopilot. But why complicate things?

 

[Azurewraith]

Yes, this is difficulty parsing English.


Which Ironically is NOT the method Neurotic used. Nor Vlad the Destroyer.

I, however rerolled 1s and 2s once. Therefore I protest unless I get to reroll a few 1s and twos and rearrange my ability scores.
I also miscopied a 16 as a 15 at some point.

Not updating RG unless I get the OK

So you only re-rolled your ones and twos once? My intention was for them all to be re-rolled, the intention was to have more durable characters as some of the creatures I had in mind would of been above what standard stats could comfortably deal with. Turns out that plan back fired anyway when you met a pack common wolves. How did everyone else handle re-rolls?

My initial worry with rolling d4+2 would be the 1 in 4 chance of a 6 as opposed to a 1 in 6 but if the 1 and 2 but when the one and two have gone it's a 1 in 4.

I could ask the same of you. You rolled 4d6.MIN(3). So the die roller says: 5 3 6 4 = 18. You have to turn that into 15 afterward. When I roll 4d4.HIGH(3)+6. The die roller says: 3 [-]1[/-] 4 2 +6 = 15 and that is the exact result. How is getting the exact result in one pass more complicated then manually subtracting out the extra die by hand? (You may be an engineer, but I'm a computer programmer. And programmers are lazy, they don't like extra work. They prefer the computer task does all the work. Frankly, I find it annoying that you can't says 4d6.MIN(3).HIGH(3) in coyoteroller. But coyote only allows one modifier. )

And now, I can continue working on my skill monkey. (Monkey? a gorilion maybe? Nah. )

Ugh a programmer I lost all respect for you! Clean up your damn codes! Sorry I'm stuck with a 10yr old laptop atm and it shows. Love you really.

Hey, don't diss the programmers, you play with one already!

I meant complicate because of this, you need to explain the math instead of being done already. As I said, rerolls were done differently by different people because we understand things differently.

Lets just play.

 

[Searinox Nagharha]

Yeah its annoying Coyote doesnt allow More modifiers. Hence the math part in my post
Quick question, is "Magic" a subject thought in de academy? If it is i have a fun idea

Ye sure.

Having to explain it hadn't been an issue before. And I don't think "1d4+2 is the same as 1d6 drop all 1s and 2s" is a very length explanation.

But no sense in discussing this further. Only thing I got done so far is a 1/2E Bard of Lore. I need to flesh that out a bit more, hopefully this afternoon.

 

[Neurotic]

As I said, apologies for rushed reading. It wouldn't be the same if it was "replace all 1 and 2 with 3. But water under the bridge. Lets see the bard.
