1 Introduction

In the World of Darkness line of role playing games by White Wolf Game Studio (Vampire:The Masquerade, Werewolf: The Apocalypse, Mage: The Ascension, Wraith: The Oblivionand Changeling: The Dreaming) conflict is resolved by use of a varying number of ten-sideddice. This number is called a character’s dice pool, and is determined by the character’straits. To resolve a critical situation, the player rolls a number of dice according to hisdice pool for the problem at hand. Prior to the roll the game master (or storyteller) setsa difficulty for the task, which is a number between 2 and 10 (usually 6). The number ofdice equal to or higher than the selected difficulty is counted as successes. The number ofones rolled is subtracted from this number. The final number of successes is the result ofthis subtraction. If the number of ones is greater than the number of successes, the resultis called a “botch” and the action has a catastrophic result.

This paper examines the probabilities for different numbers of successes under differentconditions.

2 The probability function

[. . . ] a man who confines knowledge to formulae necessary for the solution ofan algebraic or other perplexity, the same deserves to be shot with a Fusil orold-fashioned light musket.

Flann O’Brien — At Swim-Two-Birds

(Math alert: I’ll try to keep it simple, but if you’re not interested in the theory, skipthis chapter!)

To score exactly a certain number, say s of successes, you have to roll s dice higher thanthe difficulty (say d). The remaining dice may all be lower than d and higher than 1, orcome in pairs of one die that is higher than d and one die that is 1.

For example: to roll 5 successes with a dice pool of 10 we may roll any of the followingcombinations:

• 5 successes, no 1

• 6 successes, one 1

• 7 successes, two ones

The maximum number of pairs is the largest whole number smaller than or equal top−s2 (where p is the dice pool). Let that number be denoted by

[p−s2

]Thus, in order to calculate the probability of s successes, we have to add up the proba-

bilities of the possible combinations of successes, fails and ones:

P (S = s) =[ p−s

2 ]∑i=0

(Prob. of rolling s + i successes, i ones and p− s− 2 ∗ i others) (1)

In the example this is:

P (S = 5) =[ 10−5

2 ]∑i=0

(Prob. of rolling 5 + i successes, i ones and 10− 5− 2 ∗ i others)

=2∑

i=0

(Prob. of rolling 5 + i successes, i ones and 10− 5− 2 ∗ i others)

= (Prob. of rolling 5 successes, 0 ones and 5 others) +(Prob. of rolling 6 successes, 1 one and 3 others) +(Prob. of rolling 7 successes, 2 ones and 1 other)

Now, what we still need to find is the probability for a specific combination of successes,ones, and others.

Page 3: d10 Probability

The probability of rolling a 1 on a ten-sided die is of course 110 . The probability of

rolling a success is 10−d+110 . Finally, the probability of rolling a number that is neither a 1

nor a success is d−210 . For example on a difficulty of 6 you may roll 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 to score a

success, which is 10− 6 + 1 = 5 out of 10. To fail you roll 2, 3, 4 or five, which is d− 2 = 4out of 10. And you botch on a 1, which is one out of 10.

If you roll more than one die and want the probability to roll a success, failure or 1 in aspecific sequence, all you have to do is multiply the probabilities for the single roll. Thus,the probability to roll, say, a successes, b failures and c ones in a given sequence would be:(

10− d + 110

)a (d− 210

)b (110

)c

.

This, however, doesn’t take permutations into account. The storyteller doesn’t care inwhat sequence you roll successes and ones. There are (a + b + c)! permutations. (n! =1 · 2 · . . . · n − 1 · n; 0! := 1). a! of these are the same, because all you do is shuffle aroundthe successes. b! are the same, because all you do is shuffle the failures. And—you guessedit—c! of the permutations are the same. So the actual number of distinct permutations is:

(a + b + c)!a!b!c!

.

So, we have the probability for a given sequence, and every one of the permutations givenabove is one such sequence. Thus we have to multiply the probability with the number ofpermutations to find the probability for the case where sequence is irrelevant:

P (a, b, c) =(a + b + c)!

a!b!c!

(10− d + 1

10

)a (d− 210

)b (110

)c

.

A random experiment that follows the above law of probability, by the way, is said tohave a Multinomial Distribution.

Now all we have to do is remember equation (1) and substitute (s + i) for a, i for c and(p− s− 2i) for b. We also find that a + b + c = (s + i) + i + (p− s− 2i) = p which is hardlysurprising, as the total number of dice rolled is the dice pool.

So finally we’ve reached the conclusion that the probability to score s successes againsta difficulty of d with a dice pool of p is:

P (S = s) =[ p−s

2 ]∑i=0

p!(s + i)! i! (p− s− 2i)!

(11− d

10

)s+i (110

)i (d− 210

)p−s−2i

(2)

To continue our example to the bitter end, the probability to score exactly 5 successesagainst a difficulty of 6 with a dice pool of 10 dice is (hold your hat :-) :

P (S = 5) =[ 10−5

2 ]∑i=0

10!(5 + i)! i! (10− 5− 2i)!

Obviously this is a task for a computer (or a Boggan :-).Now, usually in the game you don’t need to score an exact number of successes, but

you’re interested in the probability to score at least s successes. That number is easilycalculated as:

P (S ≥ s) =10∑

j=s

P (S = j)

with P (S = j) calculated according to equation (2)The formula in equation (2) only works for a non-negative number of successes. If you

want to calculate the probability of a botch use the following formula:

P (S < 0) = 1− P (S ≥ 0) = 1−10∑

j=0

P (S = j)

with P (S = j) calculated according to equation (2)

3 C code for the calculation of probabilities

I’m not much of a C programmer and this is just a quick and dirty hack. The programshould get the idea across though. The program calculates a table of probabilities bysuccesses and size of dice pool for each difficulty from 2 to 10. Its core is the func-tion “double probability(pool,success,difficulty)” which returns the probabilityto score exactly “success” successes against a difficulty of “difficulty” with a dice poolof “pool”.

#include <math.h>

double factorial(n)int n;{int f;

if (n<0){printf("Negative argument in function factorial\n");

};if (n==0) f=1;else

f=n*factorial(n-1);return((double)f);

}

double probability(pool,success,difficulty)int pool,success,difficulty;{int i, max;double p,p1,p2,p3,fac,prob,botch;

p1=(11.0-difficulty)/10.0;p2=0.1;p3=(difficulty-2.0)/10.0;max=(int)floor(((float)pool-(float)success)/2.0);p=0.0;for (i=0;i<=max;i++){fac=( factorial(pool)/

(factorial(success+i) * factorial(i) *factorial(pool-success-2*i)));

prob=pow(p1,(success+i))*pow(p2,i)*pow(p3,(pool-success-2*i));

5

Page 6: d10 Probability

p+=fac*prob;}return(p);

}

main(){

int pool, difficulty, success;double p,botch;

for (difficulty=2; difficulty<=10;difficulty++){

printf("\n\n Difficulty %d\n Dice Pool",difficulty);for (success=10; success>=0;success--)printf("%11d ",success);

printf(" botch\n");

for (pool=1; pool<=10;pool++){botch=1.0;printf("%2d Dice ",pool);for (success=10; success>=0;success--){if (success>pool)p=0;else p=probability(pool,success,difficulty);printf("%11.8f ",p*100);botch-=p;

}printf("%11.8f\n",botch*100);

}}

}

4 Probability tables

The following tables show probabilities of certain numbers of successes under differentconditions. All probabilities are given as percentages. If you want “real” probabilities,divide by 100.

The tables in sections 4.1 and 4.2 show the probability of rolling a phenomenal success(five or more successes), a complete success (three or more successes) , any success at alland the probabilities for failure and botch.

The tables in sections 4.3 and 4.4 show the probability of rolling exactly a certain numberof successes.

In section 4.2 and 4.4 there is a table for every difficulty and the rows represent differentdice pool sizes.

In section 4.1 and 4.3 there is a table for every dice pool size and the rows representdifferent difficulties.

To make the tables in sections 4.3 and 4.4 more compact there are two rows for everydice pool size or difficulty. The first row shows probabilities for 10-5 successes, the secondrow shows probabilities for 4-0 sucesses and botch. Thus the probabilities of rolling 10 and4 successes are in the same field of the table.

For example, the probability of rolling at least five successes against a Difficulty of 6with seven dice is found in table 4.1.7 in the “Phenomenal” column and the row for DicePool 7. The same number (16.75%) can be found in table 4.2.5 in the “Phenomenal” columnand the row for Difficulty 6.

The probability of rolling exactly five successes against a Difficulty of 6 with seven diceis found in table 4.3.7 as the upper number in the column for “5/Botch” and the row forDice Pool 7. The same number (4.375%) can be found in table 4.4.5 as the upper numberin the column for “5/Botch” and the row for Difficulty 6.
