>>46649332
You and your GM both sound like immature shitheads. You deserve each other.
>>46649332
>buying a $50 book
>spending days reading it
>just to troll the GM for 5 minutes
Ace plan, sperglord. Shit thread, moving on.
>>46649332
>roll all 18's
Yeah, okay buddy.
>>46649427
Mathematical odds of rolling all 18s:
1/(6^(3*6))
Or 1 in 101559956668416
>>46649465
So either OP is full of shit or he loaded his dice. Either way he's a faggot.
>>46649465
It's only 1 in 55 billion or so of its 4d6 drop the lowest.
>>46649515
It's pretty obvious that OP is full of shit. This thread couldn't be more blatantly a shitty attempt at a parody if OP played a teleporting donut steel.
>>46649332
This story never happened, and even if it did, you're a total shithead.
>>46649332
worthless frogposter
never speak to me again
>>46649332
I'm afraid that I might be That DM. How else can I explain why my players haven't contacted me in two months?
>>46649332
>DM legit kicks you out of the campaign until it ends
This is a legitimate thing to be frustrated by

That happened.

...Why?
Everything else is bullshit, but this bullshits hardest.

Grow up,. kid.
I believe you should have done three things different.
1. Download the PDF online. You may have been a pirating faggot, but you ended up as a legal idiot spending $50 on the book.
2. Should have went wizard with the eschew materials feat.
3. Should have made a suicide bomb that activates upon death in all future campaigns on all future characters in the group (even the thee player's characters)to end the GM's dickery.
>>46649332
>roll all 18's(did this in front of witnesses, so it wasnt a cheat)
While not impossible, the odds of this are so fucking low that I just don't believe you.
The 4d6 drop lowest throws things off a bit as compared to just straight 3d6, but I'm reasonably certain the odds remain something like 1:100,000,000,000,000, which is the odds of rolling 18d6 and coming up with all 6s.
>>46649332
OP, you are that guy. You were the faggot all along. Embrace it Mary, you just can't stop gargling cock. See you at Pride, Homo.
>>46650094
>kid.
Deleborts behaid u :DDDDD
>>46650129
>2. Should have went wizard with the eschew materials feat.
To be fair, that's not a thing in 5E.
>>46650246
Fair enough.
>>46649465
Not saying he's telling the truth, but that's the exact same odds as literally any other combination of numbers.
>>46650234
Nubbig persogneel kib XDDDDD
>>46650431
Actually, all other combinations of numbers except for all 3s, all 4s, etc....will be more likely because rolling a 3 followed by 5 18s is a distinct and separate outcome than rolling 5 18s and then a 3, and so on and so forth.
>>46650497
Well, I know certain number combinations are more common, so yes that's not accurate. But saying "rolling all 18s has a 1:whatever chance of happening" is a shitty argument because plenty of other "normal" combinations are just as likely.
>>46650525
Yeah, but there are only 17 other possibilities out of 101559956668416 that have the same chance of occurring, and there are none less likely to occur. It is tied for least likely.
>>46650204
Oh god, is Baileyposting going to be a thing now? Because if so, I'm on board.
As for the OP, DMing from a module is shit, but not the same kind of shit as reading ahead in it to become king of shit mountain.
>>46650550
Law of large numbers is the only real response here. Shitloads of dice are rolled each day, an unlikely outcome is going to happen eventually.
>>46650709
Exactly. Like how I saw a kid roll 7 nat 20's in a row to juggle.

>Fgt DM - bcuz u git and xtra dye for mor damge
>Me - Well yeah but there are also save DCs that come into play if I try to scare/trip/whatever someone, not just my attack roll, that justifies the extra damage. So why can anyone just make a basic attack roll and successfully do whatever it is they said?

>DM - Well they've been fighting for awhile and it wasn't going to be easy
>Me - Yeah but it's not like I just said "I'm going to try and make them stop fighting," rolled my die, and just lol'd through these three weeks. I studied their families past, the origins of their animosity between one another, and have been trying to find a fair middle ground through rp and investigation
>DM - Doesn't matter, the DC is the DC
>That-Fucking-Guy again
>Spent the same amount of time just fucking everything in sight (bard character(of course)), by pure coincidence just so happened to see the eldest son getting "fucked by a goat" at one orgy party on the last day of negotiation by doing absolutely nothing different every day, and had a single intimidation DC of 15 to successfully blackmail them into peace
I fucking hate my group.
>>46650525
The thing is that this specific result has meaning in the confines of the system, while others do not.
It's better to think of it in the way of "what are the odds a roll will add up to this specific number?" Than "what are the odds this specific dice will show up"
>>46650813
Play as the GM. Anytime the former GM whines about being unfair just tell him about the 0.0000000000000000001% chance for that diplomacy (assuming 21 days and you were referring to a nat 19 on the die) check. Then commit ritualistic suicide by bomb vest while at the table.
>>46650709
Yeah, but compare the odds of it being a poster on /tg/ who does it to the odds of someone on /tg/ being a liar.
>>46650813
Do what >>46650970 said, nigga knows how to unfuck a game.
Alternatively, find a new group with less faggots in it.
>>46650813
Try to find other people if you can.
>>46650709
While true, it's so unlikely that it's not wrong to call the OP out on being a liar, especially considering the rest of the content of his post.
>>46650203
The odds are way better, but yeah. According to anydice, rolling a 18 on 4d6-drop-lowest has a chance of 1.62 percent, which is 0.162:1, so chances of rolling all 18s on 4d6-drop-lowest are 0.162 to the power of six, which is rougly 1 in 50000.
ITT: /tg/ proves that it can't into math
>>46649332
>implying this ever happened
Hide the shit-thread folks.
>>46649465
Depends on what kind of rolling. 4 drop lowest is harder to calculate.
>>46650813
Leave that group and burn down the DM's house.
>>46649332
>get kicked out a campaign
>buy next campaign module specifically to meta
>break the campaign in five minutes
>somehow the DM is the bad guy
I'm pretty sure the faggot here is you.
>>46650431
Incorrect.
If you are rolling 2 dice, for a simple example, the outcomes will not be uniformly distributed.
There is only 1 way to roll a 2: 1+1. There is only one way to roll a 12: 6+6.
However, to roll a 3, you can have a 1 on the first roll and a 2 on the second, or a 2 on the first and a 1 on the second. So there are 2 different ways to roll 3, thus it is twice as likely as rolling a total of 2. With a 6 for instance, there are several different ways: you could roll a 5 then a 1; or a 4 then a 2; or a 3 then a 3; or a 2 then a 4; or a 1 then a5. So basically 5 different ways to roll a 6, which makes it 5 times more likely than rolling a total of 2 or a total of 12.
So when you're rolling 18 dice, the least likely outcome is all 1s or all 6s. Rolling, IE, 1 5 and 17 6's, becomes 18 times more likely because there are 18 possible ways to achieve this combination.
>I HATE THIS GROUP AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
OP is clearly having a laugh. How is this not obvious to you people?
