Re-roll

Introduction

Rerolling refers to the process of getting a different set of stats during the character creation process. The term is derived from the paper and dice version of role-playing wherein players would actually roll dice and cross-reference a table in the game manual to generate their characters statistics. If they were unhappy with their statistics, they could re-roll.

Statistical Analysis

Human Mage (M)

A statistical analysis of approximately 2500 re-rolls was performed to determine the approximate distributions of the levels for each stat. The analysis was performed for a Human Male Mage. The results are summarized in the table below:

Stat Level	STR	INT	WIS	DEX	CON	CHR	LUC
LOW	41%	0%	41%	9%	40%	43%	41%
BAVG	24%	23%	23%	33%	22%	24%	21%
AVG	16%	29%	16%	29%	18%	15%	17%
AAVG	11%	28%	12%	20%	12%	11%	13%
HIGH	4%	15%	4%	5%	4%	3%	3%
MAX	4%	5%	4%	4%	4%	4%	4%

Graphically the distributions are shown below:

Human Warrior (M)

A statistical analysis of approximately 500 re-rolls was performed to determine the approximate distributions of the levels for each stat. The analysis was performed for a Human Male Mage. The results are summarized in the table below:

Stat Level	STR	INT	WIS	DEX	CON	CHR	LUC
LOW	0%	39%	41%	9%	42%	47%	40%
BAVG	22%	21%	23%	32%	18%	18%	23%
