Is there any significant distinction between a number of consecutive rolls with no selections in between and one roll with the identical chance? I’m not seeing the distinction between roll to hit, roll for injury, save vs huge injury, after which save vs demise in comparison with one roll with identical chance of succeeding towards some immediate demise impact. Unless there’s a mechanic for modifying rolls in place I see no distinction between one roll and plenty of rolls to succeed in the identical consequence with out additional participant enter.

If I’ve to roll 4 occasions, and failing anybody roll leads to demise, my chance of survival is low.

If I’ve to roll 4 occasions, and I’ve to fail all of them to die, my chance of survival is excessive.

Basically, a number of rolls are an alternate methodology to change chance distribution with out having to introduce difficult decision math. Each of those rolls, for instance, may merely be “roll greater than 4 on a d6”.

Obviously, we assume that the roll sort and threshold are the identical in every case; if all of the rolls are totally different, we will say nothing concerning the chance typically, and the benefit of this methodology (simplicity, ease of decision) is negated.

Yeah, however for these 4 rolls, you can simply do a single d100 roll with the chance of failing all 4 rolls, or no matter your fail situation is. And that is a lot easy too. That’s the query.

I agree fully; personally, I might by no means use multiple roll to find out the end result of an motion if I may presumably keep away from it.
