Understanding the Dice
Since this game uses dice pools for most rules, it can be hard to predict the odds of rolling 2+ hits, 1 hit, or 0 hits. You do not need to understand these odds to play, but here is a table that outlines the result distribution if you are curious about the math behind the game.
Dice Result Distribution
For these probabilities, a “hit” is a result of 5 or 6 on a d6.
| Dice | 0 Hits % | 1 Hit % | 2+ Hits % |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2d6 (lowest) | 89% | 11% | 0% |
| 1d6 | 67% | 33% | 0% |
| 2d6 | 44% | 44% | 12% |
| 3d6 | 30% | 44% | 26% |
| 4d6 | 20% | 40% | 40% |
| 5d6 | 13% | 33% | 54% |
| 6d6 | 9% | 26% | 65% |
Note:“2d6 (lowest)” means roll two dice and take the lower die; a single hit only occurs if both dice show 5–6.
