Probabilities

Since the d6-pooling system I threw together is quite similar to Silhouette's basic system, I found a link to a site which lists the probabilities.

If you had a total of 4d6, you'd get a 4+ about 94% of the time and a 6+ about 52% of the time. If you get up to 6d6 (about as high as I was intending for starting skills to get, you'd get 4+ about 98% of the time and 6+ about 66% of the time. There's a huge drop between 6 and 7, but I was kind of thinking that 4-6 would be a success and 7+ would be a crit, so that might not be too bad. Even a +1 bonus is a huge deal, though, since it makes getting a 7 much, much easier.
