Re: Random Magic Paths - is it truly random?

(7/8)^20*8 is NOT the probality of getting exactly one path missing. You are absolutely right about it not garanteeing that the other 7 paths are present....

You a right that if I roll a number of dies (in this case eight-sided) and then only write down the largest value every time, then the average of this "highest-value-thrown" will indeed be higher...

Re: Random Magic Paths - is it truly random?

Re: MP Game - God is a Bullet
