This is for all you Dungeon Masters looking for that perfect dice roll to describe which of your gathered mob of peasants is riddled by crossbow bolts in a freak incident of chance. So break out your dice and prepare for absolute carnage as we delve into the horror world of dice ranges and the curse of the Bell Curve.
The Fact is there are very few dice rolls that give an even spread of chance.

1-18............1d4+2d8
There should be a "-2" here :)
1-7.............1d8-1, 2d4-1
1d8-1 actually gives a range from 0-7
1-15............2d8
That should actually be 2d8-1.
