minus-squareCavemanfreak@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·7 days agoThat’s what the meme says, but probability doesn’t work that way. If you want the result from a roll, what you’ve roller before has no bearing on the result from this roll. Thus the chance for a single d20 roll is always 1/20, or 5%.
