Subject: FMA odds

Here are odds for FMA--I'll also post this to my website somewhere in
the
next week (plus how to calculate odds and some examples).   Probablities
are for attacker die (column) beating defender die (row). The "sum across"
and "sum down" are there to rank the dice--for you'll see that attacking
with 2d4 is not quite as good as d10, but on the defense they're nearly
identical. Of course, if you never face 2d4, or d12, or whatever, your own
totals might change the rank order.

A (col) > D (row) d4 d6 d8 2d4 d10 d12 sum across d4 0.375 0.583 0.688 0.844
0.750 0.792 4.031 d6 0.250 0.417 0.563 0.656 0.650 0.708 3.244 d8 0.188 0.313
0.438 0.500 0.550 0.625 2.613 2d4 0.063 0.208 0.375 0.414 0.500 0.583 2.143
d10 0.150 0.250 0.350 0.400 0.450 0.542 2.142 d12 0.125 0.208 0.292 0.333
0.375 0.458 1.792 2d6 0.028 0.093 0.194 0.201 0.311 0.417 1.244
