I was curious about the average roll of "exploding" dice, such as in Savage Worlds, and found a surprisingly simple pattern. The average roll for an exploding...

Savage worlds also uses a wild d6, where you take the higher of the two. The wild die also explodes, yielding an average roll of 4 1/5. How would the wild die...

A simpler way to write the same thing would be (X/2)+1. The average for exploding dice is half the die's total plus one. Or, it's the actual average of the...

It doesn't enter in a whole lot. Your chances of rolling infinity are infinity. That is why hes saying the average on a d4 is 3 1/3 or 3.33333333333 to...

correction 1 in infinity. Also the chance on a d4 exploding once is 1/4, twice is 1/16 three times is 1/64 etc etc. ... From: Pete <lone_gunman_tete@...>...

It matters, take the d4 again non exploding you have equal chance at 1-4 = 25% exploding you have equal chance at 1-3 but now you have 25% chance of 5-8...

John, where you are correct is if you are going against a pass/fail on a number lower than the max of the die type. Then the stepping never comes into play....

Pete is on-target here for where my results came from. To make the math even more obvious, consider the d10 instead of the d4: 1 = 10% 2 = 10% . . . 9 = 10% 11...
