Short aside

Most people know my dice rolling is abysmal.
However, my luck at catching a bus or avoiding rainstorms, is quite good.

Have you tested your abysmal dice rolling? I would love to do a study documented the frequency at which you roll less than 50% of the maximum di value.

In the same vein, a group of school children in the UK did a study to see if buttered toast falls butter-side-down more frequently than not. I am uncertain of how one might devise a scientifically unbiased way of "dropping" toast, but it turned out that the toast was equally likely to fall on either side...as one might expect!

I have ample eye witnesses to it. :)

But in the interest of science, I will take a log. I am playing a few games of Warhammer this weekend, and I will keep track of the number of collections of rolls that are less than 50%.

I'll post my results on Sunday.

I'd have to say that your dice rolling for NPCs kicking players' asses is pretty stellar...
