4 is considered an unlucky number in many Asian cultures because it sounds like the word for death, so watch your back, and burn some sage

This is me except its not skill checks. Skill checks I rock. Combat rolls though? Almost always 4, if I'm unlucky its 2 or 3 but never 1. I built a skill monkey that buffs people and was okay at combat and then never hit a person for over a year. Then I hit someone and froze confused, I checked the number I rolled to hit(this is a computer program so it just gave the total) 4.....I had gained enough pluses to hit that 4 now could hit enemies and so I was allowed to hit enemies now. (It only took being a skald with rage song, a +4 weapon weapon that gains more bonuses while raging, a bard cohort, and being Mythic but now I could FIGHT.)

In some Asian cultures, the number 4 is reputed to be an omen of death. This will either end with 4 as a winning lottery number, or no money being won at all. (My guess is the lottery ticket won't actually win him any money.)

[@magnus0017]

I don't know about others, but this is true in Japan, as one way of pronouncing 4 (shi) is the same pronunciation as the kanji for death. though that's also the place where getting pooped on by a bird can be a sign of good luck, because the word "fun" (pronounced "foon") can be written with the kanji for poop and for luck, I believe. I don't think anyone is actually happy about that, but it is something people say from time to time.

I kid you not but I had a friend who rolled 4 on a d20 15 times in a row during one of our session, it was during a boss battle so he kept missing but it was after about the 8th roll we noticed how much he had rolled a 4, we stopped the battle and told him to keep rolling and proceeded to get 7 more in a row. The chance of him doing this is 3.2768e+19 to 1!!! That number is over 3 sextillion! It was absolutely crazy when we watched it happen

[@millionplayz7819]

@UCO3-e0sBgCqYpCqAm0Dic5g I checked it, it wasn't. I grabbed it after he failed to roll another 4 and when I rolled it I got a 5, then a nat 20, and then a 10. So there was no way it was a weighted die. I definetly understand your skepticism and I was too considering this friend is usually unlucky but really it wasn't a weighted die.

Exactly 0 people are gonna believe me but once while running a one shot I, as the dm, rolled 7 4s in a row on a d20. 2(or 4 if you wanna look at it that way) were with advantage, and it resulted in a grand total of 1 in 1,280,000,000 odds(1.28 billion). I was furious

[@thatonedude9148]

[@maximelepage7664]

What difference does that make if you had advantage?? Also the odds of getting the same number 7 times in a row is 1 in 64 000 000 since the first one is irrelevant. You may think you have 1 chance out of 400 to roll the same number twice but actually its only 1 out of 20. Unless you decide what number you want before the first roll.

[@quentind1924]

I think it would have take less time if you did this in the omposite order (D20 then D12 then D8, D6 and D4 at the end). Why ? Because you roll less dices each attempts (if you start with D4, you will roll D6 every 4 tries. But if you start with D20, you will roll D12 every 20 attempts, so the average number of rolls per try is lower)

I think d2 coins exist, but y'know. Could just use a quarter. D60 and D120 can be obtained at LEAST at CoastCon (happens on the first weekend of march), maybe other things as well. Never looked into it.

Bro I started crying from laughter when you rolled a 7th 4 w h e e z e

[@oblivionnexus4390]

Well *technically*, since the statistics were he could roll a 4 *or* the highest number on the d6, that changes the odds slightly, *but* that's such a miniscule difference statistically that it's negligible. But literally yesterday one of my players took 3d6 con damage from poison (this is 3.5)...and I was laughing as he was like "of course it's poison," up to the point that I rolled them...and three 6s stared me back in the face. Thankfully he had a 20 con...barely enough to survive.

I'm afraid that's not quite how probability works. You can't make up the new rule midway and multiply. That last d20 as a joke is a 1 in 20 chance, not a 1 in 9 million. And being that you didn't start deciding which series you were going for till after the d6 rolled a four, you had a 1 in 240,000 chance. Still quite the commitment, though, I've never made it past a d10 with that game, usually as I'm waiting to start playing or waiting for someone to go the the bathroom.

[@ElizaShakiraMassani]

I mean would it really be that similar in chances? It seems like getting 4s was easier then you getting the highest number on the dice. Can we actually try that challenge now? Highest number on the die & see how long it takes you?

[@andrewh5568]

Wouldn't it have been more efficient to roll the D20 first and go in descending order of sides so that each successful roll has a greater chance of leading to the next roll being successful instead of greater odds? Or would they be equal in the number of total dice rolls? The way he did it has more success in the early rolls but less chances of success in later rolls. I don't have access to my computer right now to work out a simulation program to check. I also haven't written any kind of software in twenty years but it couldn't be difficult to work out which model takes the least amount of time but simulating the number of rolls with both systems and the averaging the resultant number of dice rolls over multiple runs.

But seems like the stacked challenge you did was like 2 times easier? Instead of rolling 1/6 probability on the first dice If you went like "well if i get a 4, I proceed with the 4 chained rolls, if I roll max, I proceed with the max chained rolls" which cuts the probability of beginning the link into 2/6 or 1/3, because you're checking only one of the two chains. This is just.. wrong. I mean, still impressive, congratulations, but just doesn't seem that great as if you only sticked to the original challenge.
