    Default Average Help

    Hopefully this is a simple request...

    What would be the average of 7d6 if you are allowed to reroll any 1s on the first set? Averages never were my thing .

    Much thanks .

    7*(3.5+2+3+4+5+6)/6=7*3.916 = 27.4 or 27

    Rerolling all 1s but only once each, the average of 7d6 is 27 and 5/12, or 27.4166666...

    Rerolling all 1s without limit, the average of 7d6 is equivalent to 7d5+7, which has an average of 28.
