> Why was the dice function written as it is? Because it actually simulates the rolling of a number of dice. Your loop only chooses a random number between low and high, and thus changes the probabilities. The probability graph of 2-12 is different for "2d12" vs merely "2-12". And right away, that's a disadvantage.
