“I lost my d4” something that makes even the most experienced player shiver in fear.
especially in our group where five of my players have metal dice that were designed by sadists... hate those things.
the d4 is a triangle dice?.
real life dexterity saving throw to avoid that bad boy
D4 are just dice landmines.

My first session as a GM with my new party went kinda like this... Player: I have no dice Me: here (throws them a bag of dice) Player 2: Me neither Me: (throws dice at them) Me: who else has no dice? (Everyone raises their hand) Me: here you all go (throws them all a bag each) Player 3: how many dice do you even have?? Me: YOU COULDN'T EVEN BEGIN TO FATHOM
Ahhh, the beauty of being a dice goblin!! XD My hubby took We Be Goblins! to a work potluck a few weeks ago, he made extra characters so more than 4 people could play and everything. I literally supplied the whole group of 9 with dice and had easily 10 or so sets left over :P
I've had one GM when we were playing VTR (dicepool system with d10s) who pulled out a dice bag, went "nope, that's the d6 bag. That's d8s. Ah, here's the d10 dice bag." The d10 bag was twice the size of the other dice bags because she's played loads of World of Darkness games before
@@earlknit5372 I had similar issues with our Shadowrun games... I was dice supplier.. But well it kind of started to get problematic once you roll 300+ D6 for damage at once. :D At that point I was sadly forced to use phone to roll... Not as much fun, but at least I am not finding those little suckers all over my room anymore :D

Stepping on a d4, the only thing more painful then stepping on lego
That can’t be true can it?
It is the shape of a caltrop.
I knew a party who had an issue with a prior player. They'd play all night, sleep over, and head home as party members woke up. One of them would sneak to the fridge and steal the DM/host's food. Frustrated by this, and unaware which fucking player of his was stealing food, he scattered a bunch of d4s in front of the fridge. In the dark kitchen, the player was unaware of the trap awaiting him, stepped on one, screamed, outed himself, and was promptly kicked out of game and friend group.
@@dragonsswarm1987 I was gonna say caltrops too
@@super-zw3ep as someone who has stepped on both, well there's a reason walking on D4 contests don't exist.

No, so remember, if you are unsure how serious the DM is, throw a paladin with 19 armour to test them.
You are thinking of monopoly.
@@priyanshugoel3030 can you sell your friends soul to a succubus to save yourself in monopoly I didn’t think so

Considering the very first session that my friend's cousin joined and sold all of us to ogres so he could live, yeah I would say there isn't much of a difference.
Funny thing: Clerics can use all the dice. HEAR ME OUT!!! d4: Healing Word. d6: Cure Wounds. d8: Hit points. d10: Inflict Wounds. d12: Toll of the Dead. d20: Everything else. Percentiles: Lets be honest, they are gonna use it for Divine Intervention.
I cast Guidance a lot more as a cleric than Healing Word...
so they're the class that uses D10 and Percentiles
@@hazdra1896 Hey, wild magic sorcerers use d100 a lot... much to the party's protest and detriment.

The d1 is extremely useful in roll20 because a lot of the macros work with either using two constants together or using two dice rolls together, not a constant and a die roll, so if you wanna make a macro for say where if your die rolls lower than a 2 it counts a a 2 you can't do [1d6,2]kh1, kh is keep highest with the number denoting how many of the highest to keep, so instead you'd do [1d6,2d1]kh1, though using a d0 is actually even better because with 2d1 it'll always show up as blue, having rolled both min and max value at once, so instead with a d0 you can do [1d6,1d0+2]kh1, giving the same result, but without the always blue number.

I was playing Lost mine of phandelver and I had to enter a town (this was a solo campgain), and had to roll the d20 with a dc of like 15 or 10 to enter. I failed the check 3 separate times.
@@kirbywithaknifeisawesome6028 I have god awful luck in literally everything except for character creation (rolling stats and rolling health at higher levels) and Fallout: New Vegas, specifically hitting enemies in VATS. I’ve gone for so many 1-5% chance to hits in VATS and have almost always hit them in the first three bullets. Past that, I get closer and try again. I’m in a campaign that is essentially D&D on hard mode, and I RARELY roll double digits, and usually they’re between 11-14 with my skills that I have a +6 in. Despite that, I’m the tank. As the Druid. I don’t wildshape to tank, either (Wildfire Spirit), I just have almost double the HP of our rogue, and our Paladin has been absent for the past couple sessions (after her second character in the campaign, a barbarian, died).
I rolled a 1 in 2nd edition D&D, then immediately rolled 100 with the percentile dice, in the very first battle with a new group. It was embarrassing. I proceeded to do it two more times in the same session. I have since retired those dice, since I became a dice goblin and now carry several sets with me. ....still didn't prevent me from earning the nickname of Queen Crit-fail for a long time. 😆 Lady Luck loves to stomp on me.

I have one pair of dice I like to call the "cursed set" and as the GM I like to give that set to every new player. It always rolls low no matter what. Anyway so one time I gave that set to one of my new players (my sister's boyfriend) first thing he wanted to do was punch a kid and he rolled a nat 20.
"The dice chooses the player, Potter."
The rocks want you to punch orphans, like any sensible thing playing dnd
We have a similar set for people who forget their dice, our first dm abandoned them (and the rest of his dnd stuff) when we kicked him out for being a manipulative guy running on power trips. He's now in antifa...
@@aonirnolaloth should be said that I give noobs that set so they realize that they cant always do what they want in the game since its really up to chance and just to see how they handle that. They only ever have that set for the first introduction round I like to do.
I save those for when the party is low on HP and I need to miss so the party doesn't wipe.
You see you have dice goblins who collect any old dice. I am a dice kobold. My collection is expansive but I am very choosey about the dice I add to the collection. No kobold would buy a mystery bag just to have 10 lbs of dice. No we carefully decide which set will be number 23, line them all up to admire their beauty, and then curse because a single d12 rolled away somewhere and you have to stop everything, count all the dice, make sure nothing else is missing, and go find that precious d12 that rolled away.
There's a difference? I thought I was just a picky dice goblin! I guess I'm a dice kobold like you, though. I only have 5 sets to my name, but I'm really picky to what kind of sets I put on my shopping list as well. My dice sets also need to match in terms of colour. I really don't get how people can live with rolling a mismatched set, where they take a D20 out of one set and a D6 out of another. I really couldn't do that without matching up either cool colours like blue and green, or warm colours like red and yellow. Even if I need extra dice because my spellcaster learned a new spell that's going to need them; the set has to look nice, even if she ISN'T burning the party's enemies alive.
Well now I know exactly what I am 😅 *carefully shops for more dice*
I too am a dice kobold. Though I only have two sets currently.
Yes I am a dice kobald... with only one set. But I just know that, given the opportunity to buy more dice, I will make sure they are all matching and aesthetically pleasing
Don't forget to put all of your lovely dice on display with the the highest number facing up. It's like pausing an image on an old CRT television, and burning it into the screen. The die must have that number seared into its soul, as that's the only way to reliably tame them. Also, this is ideal for artsy-fartsy photo shoots.
Fun fact: The design of the d4 was based of a way for players to protects themselves back in the Satanic Panic, where people would raid/attack DND sessions. The solution was to provide players protection, and with what else but a trap, namely caltrops, fitting for DND. The caltrops were contained in the DND products purchased, and were painted and inscribed with numbers, so they could hide amounts the actual dice without raising suspicion, unless you had already fallen victim to them. They were then scattered on the ground before the session to create an obstacle for any attackers, giving the players much needed time to escape/hide. Eventually the caltrops were incorporated into the game as the d4, and while the points are much duller, they still retain spike shape of the caltrops, and that is why the d4 is so painful to step on.

Underrated comment
If this is true this is a horrifyingly cool story.
@@vanguardbreaker8826 It is not. No one was raiding dnd homes XD parents were throwing away their kids' shit, that's it.
@@vanguardbreaker8826 LOL it is definitely not. Satanic Panic really happened due to the Manson murders, where were real and horrific, and never involved raids of DnD parties XD Parents just became afraid their children would become like Manson and confiscated DnD stuff. (Source: 1988 LAmag report on Manson; FBI data) I can give you a true dice story though! The object believed to be the world’s oldest d20 (found to date) is from Ptolmeic Egypt (304-30 BCE). (Source: Metropolitan Museum)
I still remember the first thought i got when i first lost a d4 ''welp time to slide anywhere i walk so i dont stab my foot''
I felt the "never rolls over 6" for the d12 .
I'm a DM who's only played virtually up to now. Can't wait to roll real dice
Don't start 😂 it's an addiction you won't be able to afford real quick!
Why don't you just roll a real dice instead of the virtual
Nothing stopping you from using real dice unless you really don't trust your players. The only time I use roll20 dice is for my character I'm a masochist with.
@@ElvinMayenCarrillo For me: It is easier to use the D&D Beyond Discord bot and it is better if you want to roll many things at one. And it serves as a trust thing kind of. Also, I have no real dice.
One thing I like about virtual tabletops is that they automatically keep track of all bonuses and penalties. 1d20 + 5 attack bonus - 2 because target has half cover + 1d4 from Bless... it gets complicated. But I still love the feel of rolling physical dice. I've never even gotten to use my glow-in-the-dark set.
so, I play pathfinder not d&d, so here's how I use each die: d20: hand it to the dm because spells that require saving throws are way better than ones with attack rolls. d12: yeah, I played a barbarian once. d10: I feel like this is never used. d100: my dm decided to make a wildmagic-like thing for nat1s. d8: THIS is the one for healing spells. d6: sneak attack, but also the dm needs to be absolutely sure he has 20d6 for the breath weapon of the ancient red dragon he keeps threatening us with. d4: magic missile.
If you play a pathfinder rogue you should be using d8 sneak attacks, knife master ftw. Also attack roll conjuration spells, esp acid damage ones like acid arrow, are great to counter magic resistance, magic immunity, and best of all antimagic field, it can't be cast from inside the AMF so you'd have to shoot it from outside but acid arrow has long range and a wizard should never actually be affected by an AMF once they're 5th level as long as they wear their multiple layered shrunk lead cone hat and always have a short range teleport spell prepped.
@@giorgitsiklauri840 I don't really know about the sneak attack, it's not me who plays the rogue. As far as the spells, I did use conjuration a lot, but I was playing a druid so I mostly used Stromwave (saving throw focus spell), heal, hydraulic push (yes, that has an attack roll, but I needed something to spend my hero poins on), and Lightning (I think it's called that, we were playing in French. it might be Thunderbolt). and when I hit level 7 I went for direct dammage with torrent, and replaced heal with summon fey because a summoned unicorn can cast 3rd level heal twice, which adds up to more than a 4th level heal.
@@cfMegabaston mm yeah I haven't played a druid, I was thinking more of wizard/cleric.
@@giorgitsiklauri840 I haven't played that much pathfinder either, until recently I played Chroniques Oubliées instead, so here's the dice guide for that: d20: literally every situation. d12: random loot generration. d10: could I interest you in a katana? d100: what did you say? d8: healing and one-handed dammage. d6: the elder dragon still needs 6d6+42. d4: magic missile (but this time it's only 1d4)
I still play mostly 2nd ed lately, so: d20: Almost everything d12: The die that usually gets stolen by people who only ever play once, because no one ever uses them (good for random encounters and reaction rolls 1d12+1d8) d10: Two-handed Swords, 24d10+12 breath weapon of the ancient red dragon that your dm keeps threatening you with d100: Thief skills d8: Healing Spells (Agreed!), long sword d6: Lots of different weapons, spells, and skelly damage d4: Daggers and magic missiles
And the really scary thing is now they're making dice with sharp edges so beware the 4 siders...

I have a homebrew rule called Chaos Dice, where I roll the percentile and d10 whenever an idea comes into my head or if the players give me an idea. On a high roll, it usually benefits the player, but the lower the roll, the more awful for the players it becomes.

All except d100 too, pally, D20 because it is, D4 is heal wounds, 2D6 is my sword, d8 is my holy divine smite, d 12 are some of my checks, so I get a random souvenir and boom, all done. The biggest roll i had were 9 at a time.
My gm has used d100 for random weather and random encounters quote often. Once I had a player worship a weather diety and we were rolling it pretty much every day in game. We were in a hurricane out at sea and a monsoon in the desert because of it. The hurricane ended up taking the entire session because our boat was damaged and we had to fix it and fight off a bunch of shark loving enemies. The gm has also used d100 to determine who gets attacked when there are multiple targets.
You know you found your d4 when you hear someone screaming in pain as for asking your wife on a date let the dice decide hopefully it will be good results unlike me and my bad dice rolls
I thought the d12 was supposed to represent the Cleric’s spiritual weapon on the board grid...
Fun story. I had the same set of dice for playing dnd the first few years. They're these purple-blue ones with gold numbers. I had this set for the first 3 years I played dnd and never lost any of them. On the 4th year, a friend of mine got me a dice set. They're these gorgeous pastel rainbow ones with fun white numbers. I was so excited to use them! I was DM-ing on my birthday (same day she gave me my present). I knocked the set off my desk by accident. I found all the dice....except the d4. I thought I saw it roll under my desk, but it just wasn't flippin' there. Moved everything away from my desk to look for it and still found nothing. Pretty sure I'm gonna find it by accidentally stepping on it one of these days
The D4 is literally a caltrop, a trap used for horses on the battlefield, basically a metal tripod expecting a horse to step on it
The D4: It's meant for healing spells, and in real life for heeling fells.
Totally not a dice goblin right here :P Always on the hunt for more dice :D I also have to explain dice structures to new players frequently lol so I can't wait for this vid :P
Playing dnd with my dad as a dm involves a lot more percentile dice rolls than most other campaigns He loves using them for deciding encounters, decisions, whether or not an enemy notices you from another room, etc. It makes the game pretty interesting. Also using your dice to decide everything makes it go pretty quickly. Like, we use our d4s for deciding who an enemy is going after. 2 people attacked the same enemy, on a 1 or 3 it'll turn to player 1, 2 or 4 it'll turn to player 2, or whatever you decide based on the situation. It's a pretty fun way to play actually
That was a perfect summary of the dice, well done.

You forgot the most important reason for the dice! To hoard them like little math obsessed goblins!
Apparently other systems tend to use the d100 for alot more and some even complete the d20 as the core skill check mechanic. Then there are some systems that asked the question: what kind of dice does everyone have at home? And use the d6 exclusively
I recently bought a set of dice at the dollar tree. Not the high end stuff, but pretty awesome for just a buck. The 5 of the 15 on the d20 isn't painted completely, but I can fix that myself at some point.
So I bought beautiful elven themed transparent dice set. Guess which one of them got lost somewhere in the house.
Ppl say that legos are painful to step on. D4: Am I a joke to you? It doesn’t only cause physical pain it can cause emotional pain when you roll low
Like casting Vicious Mockery on yourself. Just use the d4 again.
Gonna buy my first set of Dice tomorrow, I'm so excited! Very funny, I knew video is gonna be great since I saw the premiere scheduled)

I once saw in a Puffin Forest video that he had an 8-sided d4, and honestly that makes way more sense than using those mini caltrops as dice.
1:13 literally the only die we use in our RP system. It's so good.
2:05 Hah, jokes on you! I actually use 4 of them!😂 (Except when I'm the dm)
We still play a hybrid of 1e and 2e, and with the character mixes we have we use all of the dice a LOT, plus percentile often. The die that truly must be ridiculed, however, is one almost all of us grognard old-school players owned at least one of (even if we are ashamed to admit it)- the d30 :D
The one to be ashamed of is the D100. Bigger than a golf ball and still too little surface area per face. That thing does not want to stop rolling once it starts. Remind me, why is this thing better than using two D10s?
I have two of those and still play 2nd... I didn't know it was normal for us to have those LOL! I don't even know why I have them LOL!

I never thought of using a d12 for time of day, dates, etc. Thank you, One Shot Questers!
Who else has stepped on a D4 and almost died?
so when are we getting a full session yahtzee?
You never know pure torture until you step on a plug and jump off it only to immediately step on a d4... with the same foot.
I've been getting into D&D recently and your video is the first that made me genuinely laugh.
The first time we played with my dad he couldn't pick up the d4 because his fingers were too dry, it was really funny 😂
😂😂😂 the d4 joke is brilliant
The d12 is a very good idea ! Never heard of it being used that way, but i'm glad i did now
"Sacrifice your friends" and "Dungeon and dragons" i can't spot the differense
I was here during original stream!
And I am the second. That's a first
Sadly the 3rd
Hehe nice
“And this is my d3.” *universal collapse*
These are so funny, and edited so well
I... am the first comment... That's nice.
Yee
It's painful to hear it said as "die 20" and not "D20" 🤣
Aw thanks for the heart! Keep up the great skits, man.
Percentile+d10 is the "will i explode" dices, which is why i love it as a wild sorcerer main
"just wait till they make metal dice" he says as i look over at my solid bronze dice set
Does anyone else find it irritating that he casually swaps between die and dice when talking about a singular die? At 1:03 "This one is a die 10, and this one is a percentile dice." And "The uses for that dice is endless" These are just two of the more annoying cases from the video.
Very much so.
Just let me live my life!! 😂
I actually got to use all the different dice A LOT playing my Paladin for the past 4 years, although not every session. d4 for blessed/healing potions, d6 for several things but mostly javelin damage, , d8 smite/longsword/SP Guardians, etc etc. d10 two hand longsword when I felt like ditching my +2 shield/when it was unavailable,. d12 whenever I chose to use my lance on horseback (mostly early lvls, he had background noble (knight variant), and ofc d20 as always. That being said, most other characters and campaigns, yeah your mostly gonna use 2-3 of them :P. As a DM however I use them all on a regular basis. D100 mostly for one of my players who is a Druid Halfling alchemist who likes experimenting with tobacco/his pipe. When it is smoked it causes a result from the wildmagic table. Other than that, magic table, Waterdeep city encounters etc.
Relating to the title: Die is the singular form of dice. Edit: And for the thumbnail as well
Y´know, I´ve been looking for videos that explain dice but I never foud one as useful as this one XD
Gotta love the shiny math rocks.
1:15 well look who discovered CoC
Two years later still the first thing I show to new players that I am trying to introduce to the game lmao. For me this is tied with JoCat's "Crap Guide to DnD" series as the funniest dnd content I have ever seen
Warhammer dark heresy uses a d100 for most roles including perils of the warp which can cause all sorts of crazy things from summoning daemons, causing it to rain blood, causing party members and mobs to swap bodies, or even blinking the caster out of existence.
