Troll Dice - D6 dice pool, highest

Sat Jul 26 20:58:22 2025 by Weylin Stormcrowe

Can I get help with a couple of formulas?

First forumula...
Variable pool of six sided dice.
Keep the highest.
Each six beyond the first add 1 to the total [3,5,6,6,6 = 8 from the three 6s].

Second formula..
Variable pool of six siders.
Matching numbers add based on the number then plus one per other die matching. [3, 5, 5 ,5, 6 = 7 from the three fives].

First formula:

x := 7d6; \ change 7 to number of dice
c := count 6=x;
h := max x;
if c>1 then 5+c else h

Second formula:

x := 7d6; \ change 7 to number of dice
max (foreach i in 1..6 do
       c := count i=x;
       if c>0 then i+c-1 else 0)
