[QUOTE="TheYeti1775, post: 5896192, member: 20914"] Rule - d is always followed by "n" where "n" is the set of integer values equal to the available die sizes. This is equated to dn in all formulas. Standard sizings be as follows: 4/6/8/10/12/20/100 Occassionally other sizings are available as well but are unimportant to our discussion (looking at you 30 and 72). An equation of 1d(n*3) is invalid as the value of d is incomplete. Because the resulting (n*3) may not equal an acceptable "n" available value. Also you have to take into an account that d comes first in the order of math. As it denotes a range of values. In the case of 1d4*3 denotes 1 thru 4 times 3. This puts the answer into a range of 3 - 12. But the following numbers would be the only valid answers. 3, 6, 9, 12. Where if you solved the 4*3 first you would have a range of 1-12 with all of the numbers being valid. Thereby d has to be solved first. [/QUOTE]
