  • \$\begingroup\$ I’m still working my way through the answers here, but I only pass 1d6 to RR. I was under the assumption that it would evaluate as a new d6 every time I referenced it. \$\endgroup\$ Commented 2 days ago
  • \$\begingroup\$ Unfortunately that's not the case -- it will be treated as a pool of a single die, so the function will be evaluated using its expansion to a sequence with a single element, i.e. RR = {1}, RR = {2}, RR = {3}, etc. Also unfortunately, changing the type to RR:d won't work either, because the only time execution does a probabilistic fork in AnyDice is when expanding the arguments to a function call. If you try to append a d6 to a sequence, what it will actually do is append the possible values of the d6, namely the six elements {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, rather than a single roll of a d6. \$\endgroup\$ Commented 2 days ago

    \$\begingroup\$ This is fantastic. I had found icepool, but was dreading starting from scratch. This is a great in-depth intro for me and is much appreciated. \$\endgroup\$ Commented yesterday
