Thank you for reviewing my post, I appreciate that. It turns out the distribution which Torven claims to have created created was "For TAKP, I have replicated this curve by employing the Box-Muller Transform to generate a gaussian distribution". Do you have any further info on what defines that (yes I know I could google search it, but you deliver so eloquently, and you seem to enjoy explaining and posting textbook jumpscares)?
Edit: I thought this would be an interesting extra point, according to a quick search,
p99 branched from eqemu in 2009. Now obviously, Torven may have written the code before making the post (2014) but I'd say there is a good chance p99 is using either a more rudimentary damage roll OR on of the p99 devs may have either copied Torven's work or created their own die. I'd love to know which it may be.
Edit edit: DSM I'm gonna dig further into that post you made which included the code now I feel I have a rough estimation of what was posted there and it's potential relevance (or maybe not!) to p99.
