Having never taken statistics I assume this is a stupid question, but how do I calculate how often one function is going to end up greater than another function?

For context, I've got two opposing rolls in a game that I'm playing in, and I want to know if I should even bother with some checks and what have you.

The problem is they're not really "functions" so much as just fucking dice. So they have a probability curve but I'm not really aware of any function that would give me that curve. Which is probably where the stupid part comes in.

So really I could use any help at all but my searching has left me more confused than anything on how to do a probability curve based on results and then presumably use calculus to compare them?
