Bad mistake. You don't have that many dice to roll high.

Figured having King+Queen vs General would be better than having Bishop vs King+Queen.

[inspiratieloos]

Someone who gets really bad rolls?

And the Bishops ran out so he couldn't take one of those.

[inspiratieloos]

Yeah, that's going to be a tough one.

I do believe it will now take either a king or a 10+ OAK to beat me.

You were saying?

[inspiratieloos]

I think Sirius probably has the advantage, but plenty of low-roll potential.

[inspiratieloos]

btw imo Pawn Broker has a rather unfair barrier for attainment compared to the benefit he provides
Like, he's placed powerwise around the point you'd conceivably have like 5 dice, which would require all 6s to get him. Meanwhile the other number based cards, laborer and merchant, have somewhat more lenient odds, Laborer being obtainable with (assuming just the starting 3 dice) 555, 654, or 663, and you'd probably have 4 or 5 dice around the point where you'd take something of the Merchant's power level, so you either have a similar situation with Laborer, or you have to roll just a little better than average to get the Merchant.

Eh, if you have 6 dice then all 5s and 6s are good and for each 6 you can have a 4, seems easier than the Knight, Merchant is 20 but it's the weakest card in the game apart from Fool, so does it really matter how easy it is to attain?

[inspiratieloos]

Practically every other card does that as well but more. Any card that gives +die is strictly better because just activating it and freezing the die even if it's useless allows you to then pick up your other dice and reroll them, so at worst they're equal to Merchant. Almost every manipulator gives you at least one correct die in most situations, which means free reroll+1 die guaranteed correct.

Even the Serving Maid that you're complaining about. As long as you're going for something 4+ every die has a 50% chance to roll a number that makes it better than Merchant.

[inspiratieloos]

Say you're rolling 3 dice, trying for 5s, if you roll any 5 you don't need to use a manipulator.
If you don't roll any 5s:
With Merchant you get to reroll 3 dice. Which gives about a 60% chance of rolling a 5.
With Maid you have a ~94% chance to rolling at least one 2-3-4, then you use maid, freeze that die and reroll the other 2, result: 2 rerolls + a correct die. ~6% chance that you actually lose a die, but then you still have the maid for next roll.

[inspiratieloos]

Yes, I know that, though I have no idea how it's relevant to what I just said?

[inspiratieloos]

True, but Philosopher is one of the better cards and my point was that even the very weak Maid is still better than Merchant in most situations.
