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
need to go further than that)

It also shows how much extra benefit you get from using extra dice (6d12 vs.
5d12, that sort of thing)

So now the serious munchkins can sit down and work out what they need for a 95%
confidence margin on their powers... :)
