[BNW] Probability

[Doug Stalker <dougs@technologist.com>]

I got bored last night and worked out some probability stats for Hoe/DL/BNW
last night.  Have a look at http://homepages.tig.com.au/~dstalker/pegdice.txt.

(It's a 17k text file, so I'm not posting to the list)  It shows the chance of
getting at least X on YdZ for eveything from 1d4 to 7d20.  (I didn't see any
real need to go further than that)

It also shows how much extra benefit you get from using extra dice (6d6 vs.
5d6, that sort of thing)

For BNW just ignore everything apart from the D6's.  If you need more than 7
dice, get bigdice.txt instead.

Now all the munchkins can figure out that 95% confidence margin for bypassing
armor on that armorgeddon suit...
