The chance of any number coming up is always the same for every die roll. For every roll on a 1d6, the chance of any number coming up is always 1 in 6. Sometimes you just have a string of unfortunate rolls. Last night, my players ran into a nest of 9 specters; when the NPCs were attacking I could not roll above a "9" on a d20 for the entire encounter. The PCs, on the other hand, never missed. <shrug> C'est la guerre.
