40k Psychic Phase - Casting statistics

These tables give percentage chances for achieving certain events relating to casting Psychic powers in 40k 7th Edition. (Actually truncated or rounded down values).

They are computed by a program which iterates over every possible combination of dice rolls for the given number of dice, and counts the results.

wc1, wc2, wc3
