That's true enough. When playing games where I get (for example) three shots and each one has a 75% chance of hitting, I am frustrated that none of them hit. After all, 3 x 75% is 225%, isn't it? ...
Not sure if troll or not? 👀
Thats not how calculating the odds of hitting or missing 3 times works...
Just agreeing that our brains do funny things when we look at odds.
I'm aware of the way odds work, I was pretending otherwise for comic effect. It didn't work.
Humor or sarcasm can be hard to get across with just text 😂
But for anyone whos interested your odds of 3 missing 3 attacks with 75% chance to hit each is 1.56%. So yes. Very unlikely. But not impossible.
Anyone who played tabletop probably has plenty of stories to share of such unlikely bad luck with the dice 🤣
-edit- Made a booboo with the odds of hitting. But youve got 1.56 chance to miss all 3 attacks in a row. A 42.18% to hit all 3 in a row. a 14,06x3=42.18 chance to hit with 2 attacks and a 4.68x3=14.04 chance to hit with only 1 attack.
