So there's this for calculating how much a ritual costs, there's this for finding how much energy one can accumulate from a given number of rolls, and there's that table in MH4 for making charms, but what we need at our table is something different.

We need something that we can input the ritual cost and effective skill level and have an output of whether it succeeded (and if so how many quirks) or crit failed and how many rolls it took either way. (Ideally, it would also have a "chances of success" that could be calculated before hitting the "roll" button so a caster can know if they want to try it at all.)

RPK's calculator is great. But number of rolls is one of the unknowns at our table, not one of the knowns. And ritual cost is one of the knowns, not one of the unknowns. We can use his calculator for when someone get's interrupted to find out how much energy they gathered prior to interruption. But without knowing how long it would take in the first place, we can't know if they even got interrupted without rolling longhand.

Any chance there's an eager programmer out there that wants to make my dream come true?
