This page is similar to the 2d6: Roll Succeeds page, and shows the chances of rolling a certain total or less on 3d6. If you are trying to roll a 13 or less (13-) on 3d6, there are eleven possible totals that would succeed: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13. A total of 14, 15, 16, 17, or 18 would fail the test.

Each of the successful totals occurs differing numbers of times in the table. Frex, 3 occurs once, 4 occurs thrice, etc. In order to determine the chance of rolling a total of 8-, we add up all the "chances" for each number that would be a success. In our example, this would be the total number of times each total from 3 to 8 occurs: 1+3+6+10+15+21, for a total of 56 possible success in 216 total possible rolls, 56/216 or a 26% chance for any rolled total to be a success.
