I was wondering if anyone had made probability tables for the game. Like one for the probability of a given mat/rat hitting a given defense, and one that gives average points of damage for a given power hitting a given armor. I did a google search but didn't find anything.

There's an app named Hit Chance that does it for you. You input the stats for each time, though.

or you can do basic math

Each d6 is worth 3.5

Def or Arm subtracted by Attack or P+S

So if you are Def 14 vs Mat 6

14 - 6 = 8
Rolling 2d6 = 3.5*2 = 7, Is 8 above 7? You have a below average chance to hit
Rolling 3d6 = 3.5*3 = 10.5, Is 10.5 above 7? You have a above average chance to hit

There ya go. Provided by some kind soul on the PP forums, who I forget the name of. Edit just the 5 spaces next to where it says (Defenders DEF, ARM and wounds, attackers MAT and POW).

It'll give you probabilities to hit, expected damage (Including for special rules such as Decapitation and Armor Piercing), and the expected number of attacks to kill the target on average.

The average roll on 2d6 is 7. Each additional dice adds 3.5.

Note this is still just a little over 50/50.

There are 36 possible results on 2D6, 216 IIRC on 3D6. To figure out the probability, you add all the results that add to the desired amount(or greater) and divide by the total possible results.

On 2D6, there are 21 results that total 7 or greater. So a 21/36 chance(or 58.3333%)

Here is a simple 2D6 grid

1,1 - 1,2 - 1,3 - 1,4 - 1,5 - 1,6
2,1 - 2,2 - 2,3 - 2,4 - 2,5 - 2,6
3,1 - 3,2 - 3,3 - 3,4 - 3,5 - 3,6
4,1 - 4,2 - 4,3 - 4,4 - 4,5 - 4,6
5,1 - 5,2 - 5,3 - 5,4 - 5,5 - 5,6
6,1 - 6,2 - 6,3 - 6,4 - 6,5 - 6,6


You can do a similar grid for 3D6, although it would be 3 dimensional.

Great Chart, tho I dont think it needed the section of "If your Pow is 120 over Arm"
