Class and Level Geekery VIII (spoilers ahoy!)

[Claudius Maximus]

But that brings me to a related question- how do you get 35 as an average for 10d6? I get 30, and OaFK seems to as well. When calculating mode, I do get 3.5 as the base roll on a d6, but the mean is... oh. Never mind.

The minimum is 1, not 0, so the average of rolls on a given die is actually 0.5 higher than the middle number. So 2.5 for a d4, and 3.5 for a d6, etc.
