My game uses 5th edition rules with a house rule where 1s subtract successes and 10s count as two successes. 2s through 5s count as no successes and 6s through 9s count as single successes as normal.
I’d like to compare the specific probability ranges to V5’s normal rules. What function can I use to do so over AnyDice?
I’m the new person in the D&D and I’ve got a polish version od Player’s Handbook. I’ve got some weird feeling that I do not understand well the Critical Hits mechanics or that paragraph is written in a weird style. Also, Mathew Mercer is saying something strange in one of his video.
One of my players is a 4 level Half-Orc Barbarian, and he uses a great axe (d12). He got funny passive from being the Half-Orc that makes him got one more dice on Critical Hits.
And there we got some problem.
If he rolls natural 20 on the attack test:
A) He has to roll 3d12 and add his strength? I mean that he has the first dice from a great axe, the second from the half-orc passive and the third from the natural 20?
B) He has to roll 4d12 then add his strength? I mean that he has the first dice from a great axe, the second from being half-orc and he has to double it cause he doubles all dices?
C) He has to roll 2d12, double that and add his strength? I mean that he has the first dice from a great axe, the second from the half-orc passive and doubling the damage not the dices? I have this idea cause Matthew is saying in one of his videos: "Critical means the damage dice you double. Roll for damage, double that, and add your modifier."
I know guys, that is a kinda stupid question but I’m starting being GM and after a couple of hours of doing the option "A", I’ve got some feeling that Critical Hits doesn’t matter.
How do you determine the Spellcasting ability and the spell attack bonus? I’ve tried searching for it in the player’s handbook and searched for answers here, but I haven’t found anything.
I want to know how to calculate the average damage of a spell that also deals half damage on a successful save. For this example, I’ll be taking the most popular evocation spell, Fireball.
As far as calculating damage goes, I know how to calculate the expected damage of attacks using an attack roll, using the following formula:
Expected damage = Probability x Damage + Crit chance x Additional damage on crits
Probability = (21 – target’s AC + attacker’s attack roll modifiers) x 5%
Now I would assume that you just need to reverse the probability formula to calculate a spell that forces a saving throw’s chance of success, like so:
Probability = 1 – (21 – your save DC + target’s save modifiers) x 5%
However, calculating Probability x Damage (omitting the crit chance in the process) using the above formula does not take into account the half damage dealt on a successful save. So how to take this into account when calculating expected damage of spells like Fireball?
Level 6 warlock is able to maximize as well as empower their eldritch blast in separate rounds. If a warlock wanted to stack empower and maximize in single round, how would you calculate required caster level. Also, what would be the earliest level a warlock can cast empowered-maximized eldritch blast in a single round?
Making a level 1 witch with a horned lizard familiar. My witchβs skill ranks are perception, three knowledges, linguistics, perform, spellcraft, and heal. What are the horned lizards racial skill point ranks?
What special abilities does the horned lizard get? The run feat? Camouflage? Puff up? Blood spurt? Whatβs the attack modifier on that?
I’m running a campaign in the Sword Coast, and like to provide consistent travel distance and time to my players. As far as I could find, there are no distance charts. And even if there were, they are unlikely to provide all locations (but I might stand corrected!).
A solution could be a piece of software which can open the high resolution Sword Coast map, in which I can draw lines, and which then tells me the length in pixels of the lines, so I could covert that back into miles, and ultimately derive a travel time.
Does anyone know of something to do this in?

Let p and q be prime numbers and π Euler’s totient function. Is there an efficient way of computing π(π(p*q)) = π(π((p-1)(q-1)), that is not simply based on factoring (p-1) and (q-1)?
Obviously, if p and q do not equal two, (p-1) and (q-1) are even and consequently their prime factorization is entirely different from the prime factorization of p and q. Therefore I assume that no such shortcut exists.
Do I overlook something?
I have a query which generates a table of trials and values from a database (example pic below)
SELECT * FROM [ReMetrica].[ReMetrica_Result].[GetTrialValuesAsDouble] ('BD5E92F3-3A3B-43B4-BC22-409F34CE5980', 'Total', 'Net Loss', 1) which is an expression we’ve been given with this bit of software.
I can calculate the mean of all these trials by using:
SELECT avg(Value) FROM [ReMetrica].[ReMetrica_Result].[GetTrialValuesAsDouble] ('BD5E92F3-3A3B-43B4-BC22-409F34CE5980', 'Total', 'Net Loss', 1) However I’m trying to extend this to calculating percentiles as well with
SELECT percentile_cont(Value) OVER [ReMetrica].[ReMetrica_Result].[GetTrialValuesAsDouble] ('BD5E92F3-3A3B-43B4-BC22-409F34CE5980', 'Total', 'Net Loss', 1) which doesn’t work due to an ‘incorrect’ syntax after OVER. Could someone help me with where I’m going wrong?
Someone in chat helped write an anydice program to calculate limit breaks in an RPG I’m developing, but after making some changes, it times out for dicepools > 7.
The system I have in mind, is that if any of the dice you roll is below a threshold, you can bank the sum of all failed rolls for later use, by converting it into a limit break token (currently, at an exchange rate of 1:4). I’m toying with requiring a certain number of successes before you can convert failed, which may or may not be slowing down the program.
function: sum X:s less than L with at least K successes { R: 0 S: 0 loop I over X { if I <= L { R: R + I } if I > L { S: S + 1 } } if S >= K { result: R/4 } if S < K { result: 0 } } Is there a more efficient way of running this program? Initially before my tweaks, the same helpful person suggested this as an alternative to the function: output 3d{1..6, 0:6} named "Alt dice" but I can’t figure a way of running that, which is probably less likely to time out, and still check for a minimum number of successes.
Here is the code that causes the time out:
output [sum 1d12 less than 7 with at least 0 successes] named "1 die limit break" output [sum 2d12 less than 7 with at least 1 successes] named "2 die limit break" output [sum 3d12 less than 7 with at least 1 successes] named "3 die limit break" output [sum 4d12 less than 7 with at least 1 successes] named "4 die limit break" output [sum 5d12 less than 7 with at least 1 successes] named "5 die limit break" output [sum 6d12 less than 7 with at least 1 successes] named "6 die limit break" \Times out around here\ output [sum 7d12 less than 7 with at least 1 successes] named "7 die limit break" output [sum 8d12 less than 7 with at least 2 successes] named "7 die limit break" output [sum 9d12 less than 7 with at least 2 successes] named "7 die limit break" output [sum 10d12 less than 7 with at least 2 successes] named "7 die limit break" I found the timeout point by running each line individually.
