- 1\$\begingroup\$ I love the symmetry coming out here. I mean, it is kind of obvious, but still fascinating... \$\endgroup\$Eddymage– Eddymage2025-01-22 22:36:58 +00:00Commented Jan 22 at 22:36
- \$\begingroup\$ Wow, this is awesome, thank you! As far as I can tell, this works - if there's anything wrong with it, I'm not clever enough to tell. A follow up question, if you're willing. Is there a decent method by which I could generate the equivalent of 'output [highest 3 of 4d6] named "4d6 Drop"' to see the bell curve (or lack thereof, I honestly have no idea what this would look like) of the expected value of this array? \$\endgroup\$ryangking– ryangking2025-01-23 00:22:46 +00:00Commented Jan 23 at 0:22
- 1\$\begingroup\$ You're welcome! AnyDice has an article about that. I've added it to the answer along with a couple more additional details. \$\endgroup\$HighDiceRoller– HighDiceRoller2025-01-23 03:04:36 +00:00Commented Jan 23 at 3:04
- 1\$\begingroup\$ since you're both adding and subtracting 1d5+1 from all rolls, you might as well drop the +1 and just roll 1d5. \$\endgroup\$Rad80– Rad802025-01-23 13:05:08 +00:00Commented Jan 23 at 13:05
- \$\begingroup\$ @HighDiceRoller Sorry for the late update - I've been messing around with the AnyDice calculation you gave me, trying to add an output to graph the combination of the six rolls, but I'm having trouble cracking it. Are you able to provide a method by which I could take the six outputs shown in the calculation and combine them to show a single bell curved array? For reference, here's a different method I've been working on. "TOTAL" is the sum of the six previous rolls (though I can't figure out how to get it to show anything other than the cumulative total...): anydice.com/program/3b0b3 \$\endgroup\$ryangking– ryangking2025-01-24 16:15:00 +00:00Commented Jan 24 at 16:15

How to Format
- create code fences with backticks ` or tildes ~ ```
like so
``` - add language identifier to highlight code ```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**
- quote by placing > at start of line
- to make links (use https whenever possible) <https://example.com>[example](https://example.com)<a href="https://example.com">example</a>

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- Make sure you include the system tag for the game system you are asking about (if appropriate and if the tag exists).
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. dnd-5e-2014), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
