The star of the show is the twenty-sided dice Though every game uses dice a little differently, these are some rules of thumb for D&D. However, each of the dice have a purpose that they are most commonly used for in D&D. Or, just to scare the group, the DM could roll a d20 and go on with no explanation at all. There could be a good/bad decision, and instead of flipping a coin, a d4 is rolled, odd for good, even for bad. The DM could have six options for the group to encounter, ask someone to roll a d6, and let that be the decision maker. Dice can have any function in the game, up to the DM’s whimsy. There are seven different dice, whose names generally correspond to how many sides the dice have - though there’s always an exception. Other key words that mean it is time to roll dice include: initiative, check, save, damage, heal, or restore. Realistically, it will always be somewhere in the middle. The total damage is a minimum of 8, if all the dice rolled revealed a 1, or a maximum of 48, if all the dice rolled their highest value, a 6. This doesn’t necessarily mean you need eight six-sided die to play - simply that you need to roll eight times to calculate your damage. In this case, the damage of the Fireball being cast is the sum of eight six-sided dice.
The dice are so important - and referenced so often in the game - you’ll usually see them referenced as a lowercase “d.” The damage for the spell Fireball reads:Ī target takes 8d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. If you want to search for them on the internet, or go into a local gaming store, that’s term to use. Even if you’re playing Pathfinder, D&D is the game that made these different-sided dice famous, so that’s how they’re usually referenced. Polyhedral just means “many-sided 3D shape,” but when you bring D&D into the mix you’re talking about a specific set of polyhedral dice: a d20, d12, d10, d8, d6, d4, and d100. Note to Dungeon Masters: yes, you will need to buy dice right away, because you’ll be expected to have all the resources at the ready (in case your players don’t).įirst of all, D&D dice is the correct term for these particular polyhedral dice. There’s just something special about hearing the noise of dice scattering across the table and knowing that every number that lands face-up will be added together, resulting in pain against the enemy.īut what dice does a new player need to start D&D? What are the different types of dice? What does “polyhedral” even mean? Let’s take a basic look at the different dice, the terminology, and whether a new player really needs to invest money in them right away. While online dice rollers are a great invention in the age of social distancing, nothing gives players a sense of power like a handful of dice. Characters’ deaths are dictated by these little pieces of plastic and the numbers that they show. They determine successes, failures, how much damage is dealt, even your characters’ ability scores before you start playing at all.
