Has anyone done a program, excel sheet, or similar that calculates the probabilities of success and/or possible outcomes of a given dice pool for SW EotE?

dice pool outcome probability calculator
I haven't seen one. However, I was planning on doing some more detailed stat analysis than I had. I'll repost the averages… corrected from prior postings.
| Die |
Success |
Advatage |
|---|---|---|
| Blue | +8/24 | +16/24 |
| Green | +15/24 | +15/24 |
| Yellow* | +20/24 | +16/24 |
| Black | -8/24 | -8/24 |
| Purple | -12/24 | -18/24 |
| Red* | -18/24 | -16/24 |
| White** | W=16/24 | B=16/24 |
* Includes Triumph/Despair as Success/Failure.
** No "Successes" nor "advantages"
-X successes are +X failures
-Y advantage are +Y threat.
More rigorously, tho, averages don't tell the whole story.
For example, since it's simple enough…
Force Dice example
| 1W | 2 W | 3w |
|
oo 3/12 = 25.0%
|
oooo 9/144 = 6.3%
ooo 12/144 = 8.3% oo 46/144 = 31.9% o 28/144 = 19.4% 49/144 = 34.0% |
oooooo 27/1728 = 1.6%
|
|
5/12 = 41.7%
• 6/12 = 50.0% •• 1/12 = 8.3% |
25/144 = 17.4%
|
125/1728 = 7.2%
• 450 /1728 = 26.0% •• 615 /1728 = 35.6% ••• 396 /1728 = 22.9% •••• 123 /1728 = 7.1% ••••• 18 /1728 = 1.0% •••••• 1 /1728 = 0.1% |
Might want to keep this all in one thread.
