So our gaming group has a ritual when playing. When the dice screw us over for the n'th time in a night we yell out "Fantasy Grounds" as a curse to our die rolls. Let's just say we "love" the physics dice system.

It hit an all-time peak last night with this initiative pass. We were laughing our asses off.

Please post your chatlog.
Are you saying something impossible or improbable happened here?
You roll 6d10 and you get all 9s and 10s?
Statistically what is the chance?
Its actually 20%.
Not impossible.
Not improbable.
Not even unlikely.

Maybe you are saying something else?

I think that is funny. Good ritual. I was with a group last night and they forgot their ritual of rolling 100 die before game start (all at once mind you). Frankly I didn't even think people still did this kind of think but I like it...Humans.

Looks like some of you are going at the end of the round. It happens.

What were the initiative rolls autogenerated by the CT for your foes?

Um, isn't it 0.2^6 or .006% ? 20% is the chance of a 9 or 10 on a single die.

Indeed. I'm saying something utterly hilarious happened. Not complaining, we just all found it funny as in the year+ of playing, we'd never had that happened before. And I think you also have your probability calculation wrong.

Oh they were all going before us. That was pretty funny too.

Don't forget to change the dice color to improve the odds.

Quite normal and nothing weird in those results. It is wow for other reasons, but statistically things are ok. :D

You play long enough, you see anything and everything eventually.

Yes this is statistically proven to work 50% of the time.
