doublethrees

A doublethree is a term used in some contexts to refer to a specific type of die roll or outcome. It most commonly refers to the outcome of rolling two three-sided dice, with the result being the sum of the numbers shown on each die. For example, if one die shows a 1 and the other shows a 2, the doublethree result would be 3.

The possible outcomes when rolling two three-sided dice are 2 (1+1), 3 (1+2 or 2+1), 4 (1+3, 2+2, or 3+1), 5 (2+3 or 3+2), and 6 (3+3). Therefore, a "doublethree" in this context usually implies a sum of 3, but could also refer to the act of rolling two dice that each land on the number three. The latter interpretation, where both dice show a three, is also sometimes referred to as "treble" or simply "double threes".

The specific meaning can depend on the game or system employing the term. In some board games or dice-based role-playing games, "doublethree" might be a critical success, a special event, or a specific score. Without further context, it is best to clarify the exact meaning when encountered. The use of three-sided dice is less common than standard six-sided dice, making the term "doublethree" a less frequently encountered idiom.
