Just use the dice roller on this site. I am going to be rolling some of these things over in the discord server just because it will be generally faster and less clunky than using this site. But for the simpler rolls its fine.

This one is a bit weird, do you mean 4d100+53 and 1d100+19?
 
Oh, okay then.

I'll roll for the studying the alloys and order then.
Edit: please ignore the 37, that one was rolled by accident before I rolled the actual 10d100's, I've never really rolled before so please excuse my foolishness on dice rolling. Edit edit: so what is a 100 of use in this study?

More rolls...

First is Primordial Arrays. Total is 490 +9 (1 counts as 10) + 45+8 = 552.
Second and third are Actualize Order. (Roll double and pick best half.) So 98+92+91+90+76+74+70+68+67+62, and ignore 58,53,50,36,27,23,18,11,1,1. Total = 788 +53 = 841.

Edit: Someone already took Order. But they didn't roll-20d-pick-best-10. Suppose we combine my 660 (the first I rolled) with their results, we get 98+94+92+91+90+86+80+72+70+67, and ignore 65,62,58,55,53,49,37,36,22,12,1. Total = 840 +53 = 893.
Robinton threw 10 100-faced dice. Total: 490
1 1 69 69 28 28 78 78 70 70 84 84 43 43 76 76 21 21 20 20

92 92 91 91 67 67 62 62 53 53 70 70 90 90 1 1 98 98 36 36
Robinton threw 10 100-faced dice. Total: 406

damm 3 nat ones, that is bad
They're Atraxas Actions. They get treated as 10's.
Or, rather, one of them gets treated as such. The other 2 get ignored altogether by the "Atraxas on Particle Libraries rolls 2x dice and picks the best half" trait.

(Thank goodness this wasn't, oh, Nameria or Harkar. Or Akiona, eep.)
 
Roll for Donating to the Church (autopass on 1-99, minor crit on 100).
Result: Atraxas has a particularly friendly conversation offscreen, and that's about it.

For all your information, the Discord just had a series of rolls and calculations - particularly on the Hearts and the Assault rolls.



Hearts: Atraxas is, starting next turn, going to have 5 "Simulation Arrays". They each give him +11d to Learning, and every additional +5 to Learning (Faith bonus does not apply here) gives another +1d. He can equip a sixth if he produces/procures it later.

On Turn 9, though, with only 5, Atraxas should be making 56*(101/2)=2828 +53=2881 progress per Learning Action. Similarly, he should be making 36*(101/2)=1818 +45ish =1863ish progress per other Action.

I believe we'll be able to order them from the Homeworld in a turn or two - though I also believe they're going to be expensive. ">100 ~75 Favor each, even tacked onto a bulk order" expensive. Though, naturally, the results are (as you've read) utterly absurd.

One thorough round of applause, @The Froggy Ninja, for a quest-changing pick!

I'm thinking that, next turn, I'll ask for:
Atraxas Learning x1 plus Gravus Learning x8 - Gravity. Average of 2881 +2474 progress > 5000 needed progress. Good chance of being done in 1 turn.
Atraxas Large-Barge x2 - almost guaranteed. Ought to be feasible as a single Action between them.
Calc Heart stack Planetary Acq - 5x auto-successes; could add an Atraxas Action for +3 or +4 successes.
Result: 5 or 8-9 full successes on Planetary Acq, 2 Large Barges, major +Resources, a massive number of planets, Mechanicus Favor, etc.



And the Assault rolls.
Nameria became a Living Saint (two >95's, one low roll, and a 55).
She's not happy about it. Really, the only plus side is that now she can help more people.
Oh: She knows we're a Xenos.
So... she's going to insist that we change our education plans... and teach her about our Xenos religion.
("But we're still trying to figure it our ourselves! We discovered clear proof of divinity barely 2 decades ago!" "Well I'll help figure it out then!")

Poor Leon is going to have to rewrite her traits a bit. Her Augs and Ascendance are interacting in a "wonky" manner. Some "best of both worlds" and some "ok, that's weird."
Edit: stat-tiers set to 3/3/3, +10 Faith on top of that, 4 Actions/turn without penalty, can intuitively understand xenos (including Atraxas), can convert heretics and xenos, massive buff to Prayer->Miracle chances, "Can no longer stray from her morals no matter the situation," "I control 10% of all energy near me," "I sort-of count as a Veil being," and a massive buff to anti-Chaos stuff.

"can convert heretics and xenos" - As a Quest Protagonist who is furthermore fanatically loyal to his own people, Atraxas is resistant, likely to change opinions over time to an extent but remain primarily loyal to his people.

Emps can't decide whether he wants her to smite Atraxas or not, but he's mostly happy with the outcome otherwise. (I'm guessing: The Tyrant is probably furious? But if she kills enough traitors/etc in the near future he might change his mind? Edit 2: First half of guess confirmed; second waiting on her managing some other craziness.)
