- It means 1 dice of that number, Exmaple 1d6 means you role one 6 sided dice and the number you role is what you get. A higher number is better. 1d12 is better than 4 or 6. Also note that they can be multiple dice as well like 2d6 or so. 2d6 is actually slightly better than 1d12 because you cannot roll a 1 for damage.

It is that easy but if you want the math: The average of 1d12 is (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12)/12=6.5, with GWF it becomes (6.5+6.5+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12)/12=7⅓. On the other hand, the average of 1d6 is (1+2+3+4+5+6)/6=3.5, which becomes 7 when doubled.
Some simple math, 7 average versus 6.5 average is about 7% damage increase. Reckless gives you a 4.5% increased crit chance. This means 4.5% of the time you gain 6.5 more damage with a d12 versus 3.5 for the d6 or a .135 damage increase.

Jan 24, 2012 · There is a big difference in 1d12 and 2d6 from a math perspective. 1d12 will give you results between 1 and 12 with an even distribution. So, getting a 6 is just as likely as getting a 12 or a 1 or any other number.
TL;DR: 1d12 would be comparable to 2d6 except for the fact that you can roll a 1 with a 1d12 weapon and you can’t with a 2d6. On average the 2d6 weapon does more damage because of this. To better accommodate your players consider allowing 1d12 weapons to reroll 1s.
Apr 29, 2023 · The chance to roll the minimum amount of damage with a 2d6 is less than the 1d12. Here’s why: Rolling the minimum amount for 1d12 (1) is the same as rolling a 12/. There is a 1/12 (8.33%) chance of rolling any number on the die. Rolling the minimum amount for 2d6 (2) means that we would have to roll a 1 on both dice.
Oct 7, 2020 · A higher number is better. 1d12 is better than 4 or 6. Also note that they can be multiple dice as well like 2d6 or so. 2d6 is actually slightly better than 1d12 because you cannot roll a 1 for damage.
