[QUOTE="howandwhy99, post: 5991555, member: 3192"] The possibility of losing initiative only occurs 5% of the time as the dwarf must roll a 1. Then divide those odds by 6 for the 1 in 6 chance a 6 (-2 = 4) is rolled by the zombies.[LIST][*]The Dwarf loses 0.8333% of the time on initiative.[/LIST]Against AC:8 with a +6 attack bonus. He needs to roll a 1 again.[LIST][*]The Dwarf misses 5% of the time[/LIST] The average Zombie Hit Points are 9. The Dwarf does 3d6+3 damage. Subtracting 3 a 6 or higher is needed on 3d6 to destroy an average zombie.[LIST][*]The Dwarf's damage 4.63% of the time does NOT destroy a zombie.[/LIST]For the zombie to attack it must reach the Dwarf with its 20' speed compared to the dwarf's 25'. If the zombie reaches the dwarf, it needs a 14 or better to hit. If the zombie hits, it only does 1d4+2 bludgeoning to the Dwarf with 18 Hit Points. [U]Conclusion[/U]: 3 zombies have a 1.5625% chance of killing this dwarf asleep in the buff and only if they all hit. In all other cases: the god of zombies hates his followers. [/QUOTE]
