However excatly 50% of in infinite amount of them will be below 50, some way below.That was my point, actually. The original method... well, it's better odds than going to Vegas, certainly. The odds are stacked in favor of the house there. My proposed method makes the PC's the "house". And the way gambling works, as meantioned above, is that if you have a set amount of resources, and the "house" has an unlimited amount, then even with exactly even odds the house will eventually have all your money. I like the speeding up part too. It's a large part of what makes this method fun.Ah, well, the poor D4 gets left out, but this does look closer to what I personally wanted to see. The D4 probably is taking it a little over the top. Mainly I just thought it would be a good idea to favor "the house" a little, and assume that the wand users ARE "the house". Or else why are these wands made rather than the standard charged ones? (Ok, because the standard ones are removed, of course. But still).It's true, they do. Of course, in my statistics class we referred to that as "Tax on the mathematically impared".Turns out wands in general are good buys. That d6 one is too good (I'm personally mathematically impared too) it should be the same as five scrolls. Pricing them as scrolls instead of as wands would be siginficantly more than a 10 charge wand for the d6/d4 and more than 4 charges for the d4 wand.Edit: Of course, I've now been convinced to drop the D4 in my "slightly better odds" version of the wand.And I'd be unlikely to have the lower end wands available for the PC's to buy. But you still have to figure out prices, because you know they'll be offereing to sell some of those sometime.</blockquote>
