Players don't care for exact probabilities. 4-12 is enough of information.
Probably not from a pure probability perspective, but I don't think there's any meaningful differences for gameplay.
Am I seriously reading this bullshit on RPGCodex, of all the places? 4-12 and 4d3 are already radically different on their own. Once you consider other stats and modifiers, and enemy stats, it's an entirely different ballgame. Here's a simple one for you: Someone doing 4d3 damage, with plus 2 luck modifier to rolls, will be doing max damage in every attack.
BTW, I'm guessing you guys are POE fans.
