Graphs

Me likey the graphs. I think graphs for a fixed pool of dice (like 4, 8, and 12 or whatever) and your chances of hitting varying numbers of successes might also be helpful for seeing how the system scales. Any chance you could whip those up since it looks like you've already got the numbers sorted? - TarkisFlux 00:04, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

Sure, though it's a pain since I'm using OpenOffice's crappy graph-maker. That said, before I do that, let me link you here, where you can check it out yourself if you like; the % you want to look at is next to the heading "Cumulative Probability: P(X > 1)". Let me know if that's good enough, or if you still want the graphs. --Ghostwheel 00:11, January 11, 2010 (UTC)
Nah, I can figure them out easily enough, I just figured that the alternate graphs would help complete the big picture with these and help others better see how a specific pool achieves different targets. Don't do it if it's a pain in the ass though, I'll just excel it (which is not a pain in the ass), put them up later, and let you know when they're done so you can link them in if you want. - TarkisFlux 00:51, January 11, 2010 (UTC)
Thanks, I'll be happy to put 'em up. So what do you think overall now that we have a graphical representation and actual numbers? :-D --Ghostwheel 00:58, January 11, 2010 (UTC)
