A scientific study of probability in the D&D universe would reveal some pretty wild shit and I don’t know why more in-universe mathematicians and scientists aren’t talking about it “Yeah, it turns out that no matter what you attempt there’s a fixed probability of success and it’s some multiple of 5%, or in a few cases a fixed probability that’s as if it were the combination of two such probabilities, for instance for subjects of the spell Enhance Ability, any task that could conceivably result in failure seems to do so at least 5% of the time. You’ll laugh when I say this, but it’s almost as if the celestial beings that control the whims of fate are rolling, and I know how weird this sounds, twenty sided dice. Not real dice of course, they’re an analogy for some undoubtedly process we know nothing about”
