meh, from a strictly statistical viewpoint, you wouldn't need hundreds.

no strictly from a statistical viewpoint you would need as many as is possible to work with

That just decreases your error size and increases your confidence level.

Really, how do you guys think real researchers work? Most studies do not use hundreds and thousands of samples.

It'd be hard to say anything with just 50 rolls, unless the deviation was very pronounced.

There is a 3.6 % chance (36 in 1000) of losing 3 "3 vs 1" rolls in a row. This is significantly slower than the actual chances in CC.



good point

Dice are actually biased for the attacker when attacking with three dice, and Pilate, no there is a 36% chance, not a 3.6% chance of losing when attacking 3 on 1.

That's from Wikipedia.

Mrs. Mad, what would be really cool is if you could publish you Luck analyser and maybe have a eset button and stuff, then if you have bad dice, you can back it up on your own.

I don't know anything about programming, but it seems like if the numbers for the defending and attacking dice are deteremined using the same method, the outcome, even if not the same as real dice, wouldn't favor the defender or attacker. Can someone explain why this isn't true?

How do you read/write in a file with javascript? I've searched the web and there isn't a standard. Something that might work on Firefox might not work on IE or another version of Firefox.
