What "stat" better?

[Bobby]

2d6+3 or 1d10+4

Can someone explain how this stat work?

[Dreaming Prince]

first one is like 5 to 15 and the other is 5 to 14

so 2d6 thats rolling 2x 6 sided dice etc. then you add the + to the roll

[morpheus]

1d means one dice roll
2d means two dices rolls

1d6 means a roll from 1 to 6
2d6 means rolling the dice twice up to 6 so you have 1d6 + 1d6 dmg rolls added together

the +3 or +4 at the end is applied every time so u can get a maximum of 12+3 or 10+4

i hope this helps

also you can google directly "2d6+3" and it will simulate a dice roll with the graphics to show you what happens

so with 2d6+3 that means you roll 2, 6 sided (standard cubs shaped) dice and add 3 to the result, for a minimum of 5 damage and a maximum of 15 damage.

1d10+4 would be rolling 1, 10 sided die, and adding 4 to the result, for a minimum of 5 damage and a maximum of 14 damage.

2d6+3 would be the better stat to go with because not only do you have the potential to deal 1 more point of damage at your best roll, but also because you are rolling more dice which will almost certainly have a higher average damage.

Your average rolls will be highter with 2d6 than with 1d10.

2d6, better max and less volatile and better average

Assuming you know dice I'll do the math.

2d6+3 would be 2 to 12 damage +3. So 2+12=14/2= 7 this is the median roll, +3. 7+3 =
10 which is it's average damage.

1d10 would be 1 to 10 damage +4. So 1+10=11/2=5.5 this is the median roll, +4. 5.5+4 = 9.5 which is it's average damage.

So the 2d6+3 is slightly better on average by 0.5 points of damage. Not a big deal but it can matter.

(2+12 and 1+10 above is the min roll and max roll added together then dived by 2 to get their median roll value)

It's a bit more complex, because the chance of a max roll with 2d6 is much lower (1/36 vs 1/10). But yes, it'll give a more reliable result.
