[QUOTE="Ferret, post: 4937777, member: 4052"] But if you get a low roll, say a 1, then II makes that 5. If you have DS and you roll a one then you get [i]another go[/i], 75% chance of beating that 5. So there is a 25% chance you'll not win that tie. Like everyone says, DS is reduscing the chance of a low roll. II is boosting your low roll, but that's no guarantee it will be high (granted 75% isn't a guarantee, but it's good!). Roll a ten, and you get a 14, with DS you get a ten and then re roll, 35% chance to win. Say you now roll a twenty, Woo! You now have a score of 24. Wow, Roll a twenty with DS and you don't win. As you can see, II relies on you getting a good roll, you have to roll well for it to pay off. Not as well as without it, but still well, i.e rolling a 5 is still as likely as rolling a 10, or ten. Granted you'll never roll a one... DS on the other hand gives you consistently better rolls, regardless of the first one, a 20 is 4 times more likely than a 5. And with DS a roll of 5 or less is 6.25% likely, which is negligible. [/QUOTE]
