Or props to Nexus for helping him re-quip and get back in the game. See how death can bring everyone a little closer? Awwwww

for the weapon rolls:

XdY

X is the amount of times you roll a Y sided dice. EX: 3d6 means you roll a 6 sided dice 3 times. meaning a minimum of 3 and a max of 18. Meaning an avg of 9 (roughly half the maxroll give or take)

The first number is how many times you roll, the second is what size dice you roll.

[Magick]

Meaning an avg of 9 (roughly half the maxroll give or take)

Give or take does give you a very rough estimate for averages.

Actual average = (min die roll + max die roll) / 2 * (# of die). Usually rounded down in the MUD.

3d6 gives an average of (1+6)/2*3 = 10.5.

Estimate is "close enough for government work", except when you have many dice with low number of faces.

14d2 = 14 avg (estimate)

14d2 = 21 avg (actual)

#ALIAS {diceroll}

{

        #regexp {%0} {%dd%d} {#math result &1 + (&1 * &2 - &1) / 2.0};

        #else

        {

                #math result 0

        };

        #showme Average of dice %0 is $result.

}

If you have zmud or cmud (or something similar) you can use this, or adapt it to your own client. Gives you the exact average and the high and low rolls of dice.

That comment was unacceptable. - Morlhach

When the heck do you use THAT thing for the MUD to report anything back?

*Confused*

If it was a trigger I would have assumed it pulled the #D# and ran the calculation. Being that it's an alias....

Doesn't seem to work.

[Erelei]

It's an alias.

You type: diceroll #d#, and it returns the average.

What client do you use, f0xx?

Zmud.

Isn't the pattern just "diceroll?"

[edit] a moment, testing

[f0xx]

What I get in return when I type "diceroll 3d2"

{

#else

{

};

#showme Average of dice 3d2 is $result.

}

Huh?

[Atticus]

i just wanted to say with my first post back to the fourms, this warrior was boss- and even more so- ive loved all your chars- i had a feeling it was you man. you brutal teen, deff your fathers son.

[mya]

&1 + (&1 * &2 - &1) / 2.0

Interesting to see it this way.

I always use:

&1 + [(&1 * &2 - &1) / 2] <=>

(2x &1) + [(&1 * &2 - &1) / 2] <=>

[ (&1) + (&1 x &2)] / 2

Which is the average of the max value and min value.

Use weapons with a good DIE ROLL not necessarily avg damage.

Example:

You ID weapon A. It has 25 avg damage and is 1d50. Meaning you can hit for 1-50.

You ID weapon B it has 23 avg damage, and is 23d1, meaning you can hit for only 23 damage. Weapon B is superior to weapon A strictly based on the fact your eliminating randomness. Also factor in offensive ratings of weapons.

Now this I disagree. It would be true if your opponent only had 23 HP's (any hit of weapon b would kill him). Since they have 700 - 1500 HP, you will need to hit them many times with your weapon. In this case the higher average is always better.

Some people might like a larger range on their weapons, some a more constant damage. I think the larger range is actually better.

[Grim_Reefer]

Go ahead and ban me if youre gonna red marker me for something that goddamn tongue in cheek.

[Atticus]

the kid said dick waving like 12 times lol. Its all good Grim- take it from me if its a one week ban you wont be back for a month ;P

[Anume]

Please everyone use proper acceptable language.

Sidenote: I don't agree with not getting affl saves as an ogre at all You can still get very good hr dr and a ton of svspell/affl/mental with the right suit, esp. as a Nexian.

[Atticus]

I just loved the char, and the lack I'd editing of the penis reference. Anume you know I love you though. Come see me IC in game already. I give you a hulk of meat to hire out for cryiing out loud

[The-Nameless]

I would like to point out that I think affl saves in general need reworked. I had over 90 affl saves as a nexus berserker, and still took disint from ice storm nearly without fail (after doing the math on 4 battles I think the figure was around 15%)

[Mmm Coffee]

Dude, high saves isn't a damage reduction. If you were only getting hit for DISINT from ice storm as a fire giant...congrats, your high saves paid off But you probably would have saved just as often with ~50 svs

Edit: The damage-range you are taking from said ice-storm is more than likely the range of spell-levels from the invoker casting it, but you are saving otherwise you'd be hit for <<<>>>>

Of course, we have to see the log and see what was involved otherwise too - protection/sanc

[The-Nameless]

Lol. Not true regarding the damage. Disints where constant, with random mangles thrown in. When reading Thulgan logs you can see consistant mangles with random high damage thrown in. While FG is vuln to ice, and Ogre vuln to magic, Ice storm is both, so is hitting both our vulns, yet I was hit *much* harder. Thats the most frustrating thing about an FG melee is you simply cannot cover that vuln. Expirementing from 35-90 saves, and I was getting the same damage vs the spell. Simply put, FGs should not even both trying to cover their ice vuln, just get moderate affl saves and do work.

Agreed. Except I would switch affl saves for mental or mal saves.

[Mmm Coffee]

You have to post the log. I've seen ice-storm hit FGs unsanc'd/non-protected for Unspeakable. And I've seen it hit a sanc'd FG for ANNIHILATE. So, if you were BOTH sanc'd/protected, and still hit for DISINT, then sure - maybe you are correct. However, I suspect you were only sanc'd, therefore saving and not getting ANNIHILATED.

[The-Nameless]

you may not realize how much of a consumable whore i really was

[f0xx]

Just post the log man, people like to exaggerate.

[Cephirus]

I wish I had a log of it, but my Mage and Nameless' FG zerker had a fight where it was ridiculously close, but I just kept on ice storming, and it kept on hitting for DISINTEGRATE, every cast.

[The-Nameless]

I dont have any logs on this PC. But I was stacked in the best of the affl saves I could wear with the best spell saves I could wear, hovering in the mid nineties on affl saves this is a complaint I have had for a very long time that it is simply not possible to effectively cover a fire giants vuln to ice vs an invoker regardless of how titanic you get your saves gear. It simply cannot be done.
