I have growing doubts of the statistical randomness of attacks in honor mode with karmic dice disabled. I’m talking about multi-attack with action surge completely whiffing when the chance to hit is 75% or greater and rogues with advantage that couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn. (1/4)^2 is 6.25% so across hundreds of rounds it’s going to happen many times, but fuck if it isn’t disheartening seeing everyone and their mother dodging like a windwalking Muhammad Ali on coke.

It’s not even as if it’s a soft way of making the game more difficult because while enemy chance to hit isn’t shown, my characters appear just as overpowered when it comes to dodging (usually…).

This belief runs afoul of every gambler’s fallacy, but all the same I’m looking to commiserate with others seeking the golden dice.

    75% chance to hit with advantage (I know percent includes advantage in the calculation) and I wiff three attacks in a row. I check the rolls and I’ve gotten nothing higher than a 4. On 6 separate rolls?? Come on…
