Math-Hammer : Statistical Dice Analysis

[Strategos]

I've compiled a full list of critical dice roll statistics for Warhammer Fantasy.

You can download it here : http://www.RemanLegions.com/Math-Hammer.pdf <--updated with new material 7/28/09

This document is designed to be a simple quick reference chart for use during game-play, so it will be lacking a few complicated situations such as combinations of multiple attacks and CR to determine average chances of success. Calculations like that require more than a simple chart.

The list covers:

Leadership-
* % chance to pass Leadership tests with LD 2- LD 10 (including BSB re-roll & Cold-Blooded)

Magic-
* % chance to successfully cast or dispel a spell with Power Level 3-15 on 1D6-5D6
* % chance to cast a spell with Irresistable Force (or Auto-Dispel) on 1D6-5D6 (including Book of Hoeth)
* % chance to Miscast on a spell (or Auto-Fail Dispel) on 1D6-5D6 (including Ring of Hotek)
* The suggested # of dice to roll for each power level

Shooting & Combat-
* % chance to successfully hit with shooting on 1D6 needing 2+ - 9+ to hit (including re-rolls)
* % chance to successfully hit in combat on 1D6 needing 2+ - 6+ (including re-rolls)
* # of dice rolls needed to average 1 hit with shooting needing 2+ - 9+ to hit (including re-rolls)
* # of dice rolls needed to average 1 wound in combat needing 2+ - 6+ to hit (including re-rolls)
* # of dice rolls needed to average 1 wound with shooting & combat needing 2+ - 6+ to wound (including re-rolls)

Flee/Pursuit-
*% Chance to escape any combination of infantry/cavalry/dwarfs when fleeing from combat

If you have any suggestions for stats to be added please PM me and I'll see if I can add it in.

Yup I designed the whole thing, I wanted something decent looking and easy to read so it would be useful as a quick reference sheet.
