    1. Roll 4d6 x 7
    2. calculate the per die variance
    3. given normal distribution determine probability of rolling above x_bar - variance call this value P
    4. reroll all die below x_bar - variance P times
    5. calculate x_bar raised to the power P
    6. then using using x_bar for (a), variance for (B) and P for © calculate Y based on the quadratic equation
    7. divide the answer from 5 by the answers in 6 and then...

    what were we tryting to determine?
    Just remember, when all else fails, del *.*

    Then you can begin with a clean slate

    This is an adventure dammit! I expect to be rewarded for acts of homicide!

    Actually, to be honest, I have been often tempted to use the sledgehammer formula. :)

    Won't that ruin your dice?
    Cattle die and kinsmen die,
    thyself too soon must die,
    but one thing never, I ween, will die, --
    fair fame of one who has earned.

    No, just make sure you buy the high-impact dice. They act like shrapnel then.
