My point was more that by the MA rules you don't really have much of a choice, it will be risk surgery or have v.high risk of bleeding death without it. Devil and the deep blue sea, kind of thing Irony being one cause of not surviving surgery is of course the surgeon causing/exacerbating internal bleeding while performing surgery!

And even then lets take HT12 and the lowest possible bleed mod of -4 (so 1 point of damage to the vitals becoming a 3 point wound and no extra bleeding penalty) you need to make 3 consecutive rolls at 8 which is 0.26x0.26x0.26 = 2% And of course you are on the clock because you have a 74% of losing a hp every 30 seconds. Of course if it's not a 3 point wound you not only going have more bleeding pens, but you'll have less time on the clock. |

*I believe the math for the probability is more involved than this, but I'm not certain how to properly do it, and this is probably good enough for a ballpark estimate.

Re: Surgery - How does it work?
For giggles I'm going to write a little program and leave it running the numbers a few million times while I'm making myself some dinner.

Re: Surgery - How does it work?
Wouldn't it be easier to derive a general solution than to run a simulation?

Re: Surgery - How does it work?
Frequently, no. Writing a simulator like that only takes a few minutes.

Re: Surgery - How does it work?
I've solved a number of dice rolling problems and only taken a few minutes, too. Not all of them, of course. But a lot of gaming probability questions turn out to be quite straightforward.
