How good is re-rolling 1s on damage dice? (i.e. Tavern Brawler)
I'm sure someone has crunched the numbers, but couldn't find anything concrete. It triggers more on smaller the die, but potentially benefits more on higher the dice? So does that even out?
If we say Advantage on a d20 is roughly like a +5 boost, is re-rolling a d10 roughly like a +2.5 boost? On a d10 that's 1 out of 10 times. So for a Monk doing 3 attacks, that's a 30% chance to get it once (+2.5 dmg), a 20% chance to get it twice (+5 dmg), and a 10% chance to get it thrice (+7.5 dmg).
Does that sound remotely right? Very back of the napkin in my brain. Thoughts?
