[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

Odds of any Tri-Attack effect procing when you're counting on them to: 0%.

AKA: The Dice screw you over, or the DM rightfully fudges results so that you don't end up Burning, Paralzying, AND Freezing the target all in one go. Which is completely understand, as an 86 - 96% chance to proc at least one Status is.....powerful.

Now I'm wondering how much it would cost Raphael to get Tri Attack as a Surprise Move.....

*has flashbacks to Windos's campaign*

It's not quite the same, but it's also worth mentioning that on average, the expected result of procing a Serene Grace, Water Pledge boosted Tri-Attack's effects...you'd expect to proc all 3 every time if the rolls were all perfectly average (ie, you roll every number, 1-6, once each in all 3 sets) since they all have 6 dice in the pool.  Scary stuff.  (Or you could get 3 (6) results in 1 pool and none in the others if you lumped them all together in the same pool instead of 3 separate ones, I suppose...)

Kinda the same for one with 12 D6, except I can't say exactly which two dice would end up being (6) results in a pool of 3 sets of 4 dice.

And base Tri-Attack, perfectly average rolls would proc at least 1 effect every turn.  But again, can't specify which one, obviously.

Let's also keep in mind that the only way to get a Tri-Attack Togepi in the games is from purifying a Shadow Togepi, so...yeah, that'd probably have to be an EXPENSIVE Surprise...
