I'm confused
I have been reading the core rulebooks for about a year. Reading, studying, creating, and using. It has finally become too much. What is a d3??

There are 3 sided dice. It's usually in the shape of a triangular prism. Oh, and a D3 can't be a D6 divided by two. Reason being, one of the things you always do when getting decimal numbers is round down.Impure13 wrote:Thank you very much!(I acually thought that there was a 3-sided dice. lol)
Meaning 1, 2, and 3 would be 1. 4 and 5 would be 2. and 6 would be 3. It's not an equal probability. On damage, this may not matter. But on a spell that affects say the number or type of monster you summon, if you are doing it by chance, it does.
A D3 is a D6 with 1 to 2 being 1, 3 to 4 being 2, and 5 to 6 being 3. NOT a D6 divided by two.

Three sided dice are simply impossible, since you need at least four sides to make a 3D object.Siberys wrote:There are 3 sided dice. It's usually in the shape of a triangular prism.

A d4 has triangles as sides, be still has four of them.-

True but if the prism is long enough, you can roll it and have no chance to have it land on its sides. Not to mention, you can also curve the polygons and easily make one...GawainBS wrote:Three sided dice are simply impossible, since you need at least four sides to make a 3D object.

I've got a couple, pretty cool looking to be honest. Technically they are four sides but the fourth side is curved all the way around the dice, making it nearly impossible to not land on one of the other three sides (I say nearly impossible as I have had one fluke where it stopped on the edge like you might see once every decade with a coin spinning and not falling)GawainBS wrote:I'd love to roll that die...
