How Many Rolls Do Pools Last?
Pools mostly shrink every time they are. Because the cap slows down how fast the pool drains, you can count on a few turns before it empties.
Average Rolls Until Empty
| Starting Pool | Average Rolls | Typical Range |
|---|---|---|
| 4d6 | ~3 rolls | 2-4 rolls |
| 6d6 | ~4 rolls | 3-5 rolls |
| 8d6 | ~5 rolls | 4-6 rolls |
Think of these numbers as guidelines instead of guarantees. Each average wobbles by roughly +/-1 roll in real play. Use the averages to pace long-term threats, doom tracks, or countdown events tied to pools from the rules.
