2024-05-04 Any Dice

I have the greatest respect for the anydice.com website by Jasper Flick. So cool!

Recently, @vdonnut@dice.camp wondered about a dice pool roll where a result of 5 or 6 on a six-sided die is a success.

The answer:

function: ROLL:s count fives and above {
 result: (ROLL >= 5)
}

loop N over {1..10} {
  output [Nd6 count fives and above] named "successes for [N] dice"
}

#RPG

*2024-05-08**. @fastfox@pnpde.social wrote in to say that there's an existing function to handle the 5–6 is a success part:

loop N over {1..10} {
  output [count {5..6} in Nd6] named "successes for [N] dice"
}

Nice!
