You can enter two sides of a contest (ability score, bonus/penalty dice) and see what each side's chances are.

That's quite a nice tool.


More importantly, the adjective thing has me confused, and since I'm not a math wiz, I can't figure out what it means.  The odds are definitely different, so I'm assuming there is a different mechanic...

Tease. ;P

I'm not talking more about the adjective thing right now (not that I'm being secretive - it just deserves a new thread), but if you look at the output below, there's a slight hint.

As for the tool, thanks! The best part about it is the Ruby class I wrote for it, DiceMatrix. Given a die size and a number of dice being rolled, it'll return an array of arrays showing every possible permutation of rolls that can occur. It's very useful for calculating odds using any dice system. If anyone wants it, you can find it at:
