Wait, let me see if I got this right... I use a Red die and a Blue Die. Blue die is considered "secondary" (in the examples below, the second number is always taken from the blue die), and both dice are thrown together.

- I roll 4+2 - result is 6

- I roll 4+6 - result is 10

- I roll 1+6 - result is 1

- I roll 3+4 - result is 3

- I roll 4+3 - result is 4

Correct?

Wouldn’t that change the probabilities though?

This is what I suspect, too, and I am too lazy to try this out on Anydice anyway, so I asked to be sure I am not missing something.
