Hey AnyDice experts, I’d like to create a function that does this:
Roll a number of d6s and d8s, keep the single highest, then add +1 to that result for each die that rolled its maximum value.
So, if I rolled 3d8 and 4d6 and got 3, 2, 8, 1, 4, 5, 6 the total result would be 10 (the 8, plus 2 for two max dice).
Can anyone write that up on anydice.com for me?
I’ll give it a shot, at least!
EDIT: Looks like AnyDice makes it a bit of a pain to work with pools. Mind if I hack something up in Python?
100k Monte Carlo trials (for 663,552 possible results), for what it’s worth:

Nice! Thank you, Adam!
I got a follow-up from the AnyDice creator, Jasper Flick. If anyone else needs this in the future:
