| Dec 9, 2016 at 14:23 | comment | added | Sconibulus | @BmyGuest Unless my math is wrong, the benefit to U from 'QU' should only be .0625% (one eighth of the total that shows up one time in twenty) Which would bring it to ~2.77. This also has a very small negative effect on every letter that is on a die other than the d20, but I haven't managed to get a good calculation for that yet. | |

Form a practical perspective, selling a "full RPG set" and getting "7 Scrabble letters" seems two very good arguements though, so "the boss" is very much inclined to accept this suggestion. (I keep it open a bit more in case another variant is posted.) | |
| Dec 9, 2016 at 9:06 | comment | added | BmyGuest | Very nice. You don't have a "q" on its own (#17), and according to the rules rolling a "qu" will count as "Q+U" (two letters) which can but don't have to be used. (So your U distribution will go up from 2.14-->2.85%, which is good.) Great tool, btw! Needs to be added to our puzzling-tools meta post! | |
