2d1 -6? I'd say that means the damage total is determined by rolling two one(?) sided dice, and subtracting six from the result. Though I can't think of a weapon with that stat. Could you post the whole line of weapon description? Like uncursed dagger (+2, 1d4-1) |

Battle axe (+0, 1d6+2) grants +0 to hit and deals 1-6 +2 points of damage. One roll of a six-sided die plus two. The number before the d is the number of dice rolled and the number after the d tells how many sides those dice have. Quite simple really. :P "When watching anime, never worry about the consequences." |

Hmm...ok , so +0 is about hits, and 1d6+2 is damage. I dont understand the dice thing.If i got many dice sides what does that mean?(more damage i suppose?) Number of dices rolled?? umm...please explain more specific... i am so boneheaded. =) [Edited 1 time, last edit on 12/30/2003 at 11:14 (GMT -5) by its author] |

Number of sides on a die is the range it can go between. So a d6 is a normal six-sided die, and can result between one and six, d3 is 1 - 3, d10 1 - 10. And so on. What do you wish for? wands of cat repellent_ |

When I was a beginner I thought "2d3" meant two times taken the same random number 1-3. In other words, only even numbers would result in this case. But it isnīt true, is it? |

honza, no. it's like you taking two die with three sides each, and throwing them. so you could get a 1 in the first die and a 2 in the second. giving a total of 3 :P Taz: A potion of gain attributes (4s) is lying here.
