| Dec 27, 2016 at 17:10 | comment | added | AceCalhoon | @Thalantas It's not a coin flip; the expected number of successes is equal to half the dice in the pool. If you need two successes to accomplish something, the person with a larger pool will be more likely to succeed. | |
| Dec 27, 2016 at 10:45 | comment | added | Thalantas | In your current wording, 4-5-6 are successes, and 1-2-3 are failures ? This is basically a coin flip ? If not, you might want to add a bit more details. | |
