They're the opposite end of the spectrum from the horrible ploppy d4s. <BR/><BR/>My current interest with dice rolls is mixing up the combinations and comparing results. For example, how does d12+d8 differ from d20? Or 2d6 differ from d12? Or d4+d6 from d10?noismshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09933436762608669966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621016516937695074.post-87642609178511657832008-07-02T16:32:00.000-04:002008-07-02T16:32:00.000-04:00Hey Will, the thought of a Half-Orc backstabbing t...Hey Will, the thought of a Half-Orc backstabbing targets with a Great Axe made me laugh. :-)Sham aka Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14329116400656617173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621016516937695074.post-31114157277967222222008-07-02T13:26:00.000-04:002008-07-02T13:26:00.000-04:00I voted for the d12 because, in this day and age (...I voted for the d12 because, in this day and age (v. 3.5), it is the most unloved die around. And it needs some love.<BR/><BR/>It got so bad in my last 3.5 game that I played a thief. He was a half-orc with a strength of 20 and a dex of 17. He carried a great axe as a personal weapon (costing me a feat) and would backstab with it. And THAT was just so I could do similar damage to the rest of the party (all below 4th level).<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I can say "broken"; why do you ask? ;)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, that's one of the reasons I'm back into OD&D.Will Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06379173017869751088noreply@blogger.com
