ALL ABOUT DICE

Hello, Adventurers!

Another post coming to you from the CPawx Centre for People who Can’t D&D Good and Wanna Learn to do Other TTRPG Stuff Good Too.

Grab your dice and get ready to learn ALL ABOUT D&D DICE!

Every adventurer needs at least one set of D&D-specific dice. There are 7 in a set. In D&D, dice are referred to by saying the quantity, then the letter d, then the number of sides on the die.

FOR EXAMPLE if you’re rolling two 20-sided dice, the notation reads 2d20.

Each set contains a d20, d12, 2d10, d8, d6, d4. Often one of the d10s will be a percentile die, so instead of 0-9, you’ll have 0, 10, 20, up to 90. This is because sometimes you’ll be asked to roll a d100. Although these majestic dice do exist, you can replicate it by rolling 2d10 and having one act as the number in the tens column, and one as the number in the ones column.

Dice are integral to the game and are used for many things that I’ll explain in later videos/posts, such as:

Skill checks

Attack Rolls

Saving throws

Damage

Healing

And more. I’d recommend having more than one set of dice so you can punish them if they let you down (there are ways to do this, trust me).

And that’s ALL ABOUT D&D DICE! See you next time.

Rollingly,

CPawx
