  Spell simplified As the spell states, you roll a d6 for each duplicate present. 3 Duplicates - 3d6 2 Duplicates - 2d6 1 Duplicates - 1d6 If any of those rolls is higher than 2, then the duplicate is hit What we need to calculate here What is the chance that the mirror image will take the hit instead of you? 3 Duplicates For 1 Die, S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} P(1, 2) = P(Hits PC) = 1/3 P(Hits PC) + P(Hits Duplicate) = 1 For the attack to hit the PC, 1 or 2 has to show up on all 3 dies = P(Hits PC) AND P(Hits PC) AND P(Hits PC) AND = x (Product) ∴ P(Hits PC) x P(Hits PC) x P(Hits PC) => 1/3 x 1/3 x 1/3 = (1/3)^3 ∴ P(% Hits Duplicate) = 100 - P(% Hits PC) = 100 - ((1/3) ^ 3) x 100 = 96.3% Chance for Duplicate to be hit = 96.3% ---------------------------------------- 2 Duplicates For 1 Die, S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} P(1, 2) = P(Hits PC) = 1/3 P(Hits PC) + P(Hits Duplicate) = 1 For the attack to hit the PC, 1 or 2 has to show up on both the dies = P(Hits PC) AND P(Hits PC) AND = x (P...

We don't just need entertainment anymore; we need connection. TTRPGs offer a masterclass in collaborative storytelling—a ancient human tradition updated for a modern, fragmented world.
