The combat pool starts with the proficiency stat, i.e., \stat{STR} or \stat{DEX}. However, after rolling, the change in pool size is determined by \stat{CON}. After a number of turns, the expected size of the pool should converge on a number $E[d]$.

We start by assuming that $E[d]$ is a number such that

As $p_f$ approaches 1, the steady state becomes just \stat{CON}, meaning the dice pool is entirely discarded and refreshed by \stat{con} on every turn. On the other hand, as $p_f$ approaches 0, the expected dice pool size increases. Specifically at 0, it shoots off toward infinity, as the dice pool loses no dice and \stat{con} dice get added toward it on every turn.
