Expected forges — with & without RNG lock

Ores (N) P(Cudgel) no lock Expected forges With RNG lock
13 7.0% ~1 in 15 needs 18 ores
18 6.2% ~1 in 17 ~1 in 4 locked
23 3.5% ~1 in 29 ~1 in 4 locked
55 0.0% ~1 in 804,382,442 ~1 in 4 locked

"Expected forges" = 1 ÷ combined probability of rolling the class and this variant. RNG lock removes the class roll once N ≥ 18, leaving only the 27.8% variant roll.
