What is the % I roll a 6 and/or a double(of anything) on a roll of 4D6?
It has got to be pretty good odds. I rolled like 10 times and only missed a double and a 6 once. I have to think the odds way better than 10% though....gimme some numbers please.
I could take a lvl4 or a 5, but with the 4, I am wondering my chances of getting a particular spell in a game when really needed 
Thanks

Unless I've screwed something up:
- Odds of getting a roll of at least one 6 on 4d6: 67%
- Odds of getting at least a double on 4d6: 72%
- Odds of at least one of these happening: 91%

Now let me give you the REAL stats in a game:
- Odds of getting a roll of at least one 6 when you need it on 10d6: 0%
- Odds of getting at least a double 6 on 2d6 when you are rolling a break test: 99%
- Odds of getting double 1s on 2d6 when you are rolling a break test: 0%
- Odds of getting double 1s on 2d6 when you are rolling for a charge: 99%
I would count on those stats then any of that fancy-shmancy math stuff.

A little torqued at your dice are you 
Probanly true at pivotal points in a game though
