[QUOTE="mattcolville, post: 5390875, member: 1300"] Statistically speaking, there have to be some people who will roll better than average over the sum of their lives, and there have to be people who will roll worse. Of course, there's no way of knowing which you are unless A: you track every roll over your life and until B: you die. Whatever else is true, your odds of your next roll being a 20 are exactly 5%, as are the odds of you rolling a 1. Maybe you're not using Precision Dice. Normal dice aren't random. Precision Dice are. Or at least moreso. Some dice, like GW's 6 siders, are EXTREMELY non-random. There are other options. 1: Put a 20 in your To Hit stat. two 18s doesn't help if you can't hit. Max out your primary attribute. 2: Play a Deva. You get a reroll. 3: Play an Avenger. You get a reroll. 4: Play a Deva Avenger. Also make sure your GM is awarding treasure as intended, and ask him about the free Expertise Feats. You need the math to work first otherwise you're behind the curve before you even roll. [/QUOTE]
