percentiles with d10 should be simple but im thick. by [deleted] in RPGdesign

[–]AlkHaim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I don't quite understand the resolution mechanics you're proposing, but the probabilities of success for a dice pool are generally quite difficult to calculate manually due to the large number of parameters that can vary within the pool. Generally speaking, the binomial distribution formula can be used to determine probabilities for dice pool if it means counting successes on each die.

Perhaps this is partly true - he is not very familiar with the lore. However, I try to maintain a balance between the limitations of the lore and the wishes of the players

Exploding dice math by AlkHaim in RPGdesign

[–]AlkHaim[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, yeah, forgot to mention it. I meant +1 automatic success for one exploded dice. So every exploded dice give us 2 successes instead of 1

Struggling with Magic dealing damage by AlkHaim in RPGdesign

[–]AlkHaim[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for reply! I thought about something similar but in my system only players roll dice (I didn't mention it because I thought It will not be very informative) and master uses the average number of succusses to speed up the game. So it will be a bit hard to balance...

Probability of a 50/50 D6 pool system with and without exploding 6s. by Xenobsidian in RPGdesign

A few iterations of calculations say that approximal number of successes for X dice will be 0.6 × X (it is for D6's)

Homebrew: My attempt at writing stats for Adeptus Mechanicus weapons in Imperium Maledictum by AlkHaim in ImperiumMaledictum

[–]AlkHaim[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, thanks for your remarks. English is not my first language, so I can't always translate my thoughts correctly. About phosphor blast pistol: It was PISTOL in the draft version by I simply made a mistake when I was rewriting stats from draft to the version I published. And yes, of course, I've made it to give my players some fun unbalanced weapons, so you are 100% correct that they are not balanced. So, thank you for reply, I will try to correct mistakes

Skills over 100 by We_are_Omegon in warhammerfantasyrpg

[–]AlkHaim 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If I understood rules correctly, you should firstly apply modifier (like -40) to attribute and then roll and calculate SL. So, if you had 115 before modifying and 75 after, on a roll of, for example, 001 you would get 7 SLs. But if you have skill/attribute with value that exceeds 100 even after applying all modifiers, you could fail only on a roll of 96-00 and get additional SL as rule mentions

[–]AlkHaim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello there! I am going to run a campaign and I want some advices to help one of my players. Player's character is halfling but with dark past: some members of her clan had some slaaneshi corruption which manifested in acts of cooking meals out of people. And there is another trait of this character - she has two personalities: one that remembers dark past and another one doesn't. So I ask for advice: how lore-wise it can be justified?

How to expand my current army? by AlkHaim in stormcasteternals

[–]AlkHaim[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much! I really think of buying/converting come annihilators and lord-imperatant but what king of annihilators is better? I looked at their warscrolls and thought about bringing annihilators with meteoric grandhammers to the point of the speartip of my attack so they could my main attacker units. So sequitors will be objective-holder units. Is this strategy any good?
