Fun with Anydice

debo · February 25, 2015, 01:21

I'm guessing most people here have heard of anydice before, but if you haven't it's super fun! I had a pseudo-sil-combat simulator up and running in like 2 mins:

This would be really useful if I could figure out how to work it :P

I'm working on a board game and I can't seem to figure out how to get the kind of odds I want. I'm trying to count the number of dice over another roll and it won't let me use dice in conditionals.

Cute, but minor error in that if you whiff the attack, the algorithm still continues to calculate damage as if it was a normal hit.

fixed? changing the protection value is wonky. you have to change the second "result field"

edit: cleaned it up bit

two questions:

does anyone know how to effectively input a non-integer weapon weight (currently it rounds down)?

i made a riposte function. but it has the old problem of calculating a miss as a hit. more specifically, the new function result replaces the old one. how do i get the functions to have different results?

edit: just noticed that both hits are calculated using the same rolls. i can fix that but it won't be very clean.

edit2: okay i think i fixed it.

edit3: so i chatted with the creator. non-integer variables don't work.

so during a recent run i was wondering if i should take poison resistance. i plugged in the stats for a were-wolf attack against my current set-up:

with poison resistance
without poison resistance

cuts the average damage to almost a quarter. and the damage dice only get bigger from there.

what would be cool would be to compare 2 graphs. How does 3d4 compare with 2d6 for example.

Just have it graph the difference.

Code:

output 3d4 - 2d6
