Dice odds and re-rolls

[Sandwich]

Its also how you word your actions.

"This player will try to dodge away" = fail.

"This player will dodge away" = more likely to pass.

But the crux of it is definitely this: the more important the roll, the more likely you are to throw your dice away after it

Unless you're Hawk, then you'll just throw your dice anyway.

A friend of mine in our league showed me a useful technique. When he REALLY needs a roll to happen he makes sure the dice bounce off his opponent before settling on the gameboard. At least that's what I think he was doing.

Seems legit....

The assumption I have been working on for the independent rolls is that it would work in much the same way as calculating the odds for a double 6 on 2D6 in that you just times the odds of each event by the other so 1/6 x 1/6 becomes 1/36. So the 2+ then a 4+ becomes 5/6 x 3/6 = 15/36 = 2.4/6 so this action is 0.4/6 more reliable than a 5+ roll.

you should not count only this into account when your are playing.
your thrower could die because of this extra GFI. In league, it could be weird...

That's a very good point... A 5+ pass might mean a turnover but has a 0% chance of injury!

As long as the throw was underarm and didn't hit the opponent in the face, I don't see a problem with this.

Most of our league have adequate padding around the torso area...
