Re: (TFT) scaled stats



does this produce the "steeper" bell curve Mark is discussing - in other words is that "true normal curve"?

Actually, 2d6 produce what's called a "Triangular Distribution."

nD6, when n > 2, produce a normal (bell) curve.  The more dice, the
closer the approximation to a true normal curve.  The mean, or average,
of nD6 is 3.5*n ... so for 1D6, the average is 3.5 ... for 2D6, the average
is a 7 ... for 3D6 it's 10.5, etc.
