#### Rolling the Rook

So, I'm curious. I have just rolled my 12-sided die well over 30 times and no Rook. Is it possible that the street I am on is just too happy a place? When I calculate the odds based on a fair die, the chance of this occurring is less than 8%. Should I carry this up to 50 tries i will be near to a 99% chance of having invoked the Rook. Is there a hidden probability weighting based on the inhabitants of the street?
And as an aside, I think it would be an interesting addition if, when the die came up to match the local shrine, you got a donation boost as though you had used FHSP (or something similar). It would make rolling the die more of a wager than a simple summoning...

  It depends on what you mean by "well over" but I think this is within the realm of statistical probability.

- Buy more than one dice. You can roll them at the same time, if your goal is a rook attack. You only have 1/12 chances of rolling a rook, but there is an even smaller chance of an attack.

- I think it's worse than a 1/12 chance. I was at a street party once where a prize was awarded to the first person to roll a rook. It took a long time, even with a dozen or so glitches rolling.

- I rolled for the first time in months the other day and got a rook right away. no attack though. But it's only a mini-attack anyway, not the real thing.

- First roll, I was astounded. as everything around me. Tried to help unconscious pets but lost all my karma failing. Then thanks other kids gave a hand.
