Deck of Many Things Experiment

Remove all ads!

Ok, my girlfriend has to do an experiment for her science class, the teacher didn’t say she couldn’t have help, and he didn’t say what it should be on, so I decided to help her out.
We want to do a little experiment with the Deck of Many Things. Our goal is to see if ability scores improve your chances of getting a better card, or if some cards get drawn more often than others.
.
Here’s what we want YOU to do:

First off, we’re going to need as many people as possible to help out.

• If you choose to help out, you’ll be drawing 45 cards total.
• You can get the Deck by using the CLUA Console and typing: CLUAConsole:CreateItem(“deck”)
• To keep from drawing the “Balance” card, which makes the deck disappear, you’ll need to type: CLUAConsole:SetGlobal(“DomTdraw”,”GLOBAL”,1) after you have drawn from the deck three times. Doing this will make the game think that the deck hasn’t been drawn from at all, so you will be able to draw from it four times, well three to be able to keep the deck.
• Then we need you to make a chart to keep track of the cards you draw…the way we did it was to make 15 columns across, and 3 columns down.
• Once you have all 45 cards drawn, and recorded please submit your results to me (Kitrax) here on this thread.

We just need to know what cards you drew, how many times you drew that card, the class, and the stats of the selected character are.
To make things easier, I only need to know if the combined average of the selected character’s stats are above or below 12.5. To find the average, add up the strength, dexterity, constitution, intelligence, wisdom, and charisma values and divide by 6.
.
Here’s an example of the cards my Undead Hunter (15.5):
Flames – 3 times
Ruin – 2 times
Donjon – 4 times
Gem – 2 times
Jester – 2 times
Euryale – 1 time
Sun – 5 times
Rogue – 3 times
Star – 1 time
Void – 2 times
Vizier – 2 times
Key – 2 times

Erinyes – 3 times
Skull – 4 times
Comet – 3 times
Moon – 3 times
Throne – 1 time
Fool – 1 time

We have a list of what every card does, to see it click here. Hopefully by the end of this little experiment I (Kitrax) will be able to put my findings on that list.
