I expect the results to be somewhere in between 3D6 and 1D20, since the more dice you roll the less chance of rolling extremes.<br /><br />I guess that's why Warhammer and similar dice-fest games still use 2D6 for leadership checks.Laffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09125733864107467243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167684119478977136.post-13813416167892369162013-02-11T10:48:03.649+00:002013-02-11T10:48:03.649+00:00It would be interesting to compare the 1d20 and 3d...It would be interesting to compare the 1d20 and 3d6 against 2d10. Obviously it would fall somewhere between, which may give more sensible results.TamsinPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759947520907448060noreply@blogger.com
