If you roll a 1 on a d10+2 do you have a number other than a 3?I already said that yes, over a few thousand rolls you may come out the same. But that isn't how DnD combat works.I'm saying the following with a reroll will occur:1. More spiked damage that rises higher than a single die roll.2. With the same average flat damage of 7.5That makes the reroll slightly more advantageous.Just because someone runs a thousand rolls on a random program that does not simulate Dnd combat well does not mean that d10+2 is equivalent to a reroll.So what if you have an equal chance of getting a new number between 3 and 12. You still have to stick with the roll for d10+2.What you are in essence saying is that reroll abilities are useless. And that over a few thousand rolls rerolling will equal the same as not rerolling. Fine, that is true over a few thousand rolls.But DnD combat doesn't look like that. The chance for damage spikes is much higher with a reroll. As I said, an analysis should be run like a series of DnD combats and not a thousand rolls as though that is how you would roll damage dice. Because it isn't how it would be rolled.</blockquote>
