FMA Odds

Someone has probably already done this, but I thought that I would post
it
anyway.

Here are the average rolls (taking the higher of the die
rolls) for the FMA dice combinations:

By Dice Types:
Dice Average Roll 
d4/d4	3.1250 
d6/d4	3.9166 
d6/d6	4.4722 
d8/d4	4.8125 
d8/d6	5.2292 
d8/d8	5.8125 
d10/d4	5.7500 
d10/d6	6.0830 
d10/d8	6.5500 
d10/d10 7.1500 
d12/d4	6.7083 
d12/d6	6.9861 
d12/d8	7.3750 
d12/d10 7.8750 
d12/d12 8.6861 

By Average:
Dice Average Roll 
d4/d4	3.1250 
d6/d4	3.9166 
d6/d6	4.4722 
d8/d4	4.8125 
d8/d6	5.2292 
d10/d4	5.7500 
d8/d8	5.8125 
d10/d6	6.0830 
d10/d8	6.5500 
d12/d4	6.7083 
d12/d6	6.9861 
d10/d10 7.1500 
d12/d8	7.3750 
d12/d10 7.8750 
d12/d12 8.6861 

Now this does not tell the whole story in a FMA opposed roll.
While a d10 only has an average roll of 5.5 and a d8/d8
combination has an average roll of 5.8125, there are 2 results
on a d10 that will beat any combination of d8/d8. Still, the
results are interesting.
