* Average - average total dice score when you roll that number of dice, eg. rolling 2 dice gives an average score of 7
** I.Force - the likelihood that you will cast a spell with Irresistable Force
*** Miscast - the likelihood that you will miscast a spell if you roll the given number of dice.
How to use this table :-
The percentages in the center of the table show the chance you have of successfully casting a spell given the number of dice you are rolling and the casting value of the spell.
Suggested # of dice is the best number of dice to use to maximise your chances of success.
* Note that a miscast always overrules a spell cast with irresistable force. So if you roll 4 dice and 2 are 1's and 2 are 6's then the spell is miscast. This is why, when you roll 4 or more dice, there is more chance of a miscast than irresistable force.
