In the back of the 2014 DMG is a set of tables for generating random dungeons. I thought it would be fun to see how that goes. After spending maybe 6 hours on it across a few days, the abomination I created ended up making DungeonScrawl crash in my browser and be unable to work on it further, but if it hadn’t it probably would’ve ended up like roughly 1/4 of this.

1/10 do not recommend

There’s these d8s that use numerals for 1-8 and pips for 1-4 repeated twice. With three different sets of symbols (say by adding roman numerals) you could have a d12 that also functions as a d6 and a d4, though I can’t say I’ve seen one. Trying to put 3 sets of symbols on each die face may create readability issues though.

I think there’s other dice out there that function as more than one die but I can’t find them atm. There’s also ones that are basically just a fidget spinner with various segments or sets of fidget spinners for each die, but you don’t actually roll those so I’m not counting them.

These are the ones I started with. I wish they had focused more on the d4 line than the d6 line but that’d be like asking Wizards of the Coast to make good martials

Chessex ones available in a few variations with roman numerals

pipped 12 sided d4s, a bit more expensive

And if you really have money to burn, these are the only metal ones I could reliably find. It’s a chonky boy, bigger than a d12 you’ll normally get, basically the size of a d20, maybe even a bit bigger.

There was a game a few years ago called Nibiru that apparently has a decently priced set of 6 metal 12-sided d4s with cuneiform symbols, but it doesn’t seem like anyone in the US has the dice in stock (I found one website but I’m pretty sure it was gonna scam me). This appears to be the publisher’s website from the UK, though it has had that message about restocking their warehouse since at least this past July so idk, but they say the dice are in stock. Searching on Google were also some Spanish and German sites that maybe had them in stock, but I have no idea if those sites are reputable.

Who needs glances when you have organization? There’s also versions that use pips or roman numerals or other symbols to make them visually distinct. You could also get them in a different color. Inferior shapes should never be accepted for convenience.

(best d4 shape is dodecahedron with 1-4 repeated 3 times, fight me)

Only 1, maybe 2

Good luck, I have 7 backup character concepts at all times

It’s a spindown die for mid to high level boss monster HP

There’s 31 gray dots and 33 gray names listed. How am I supposed to pick the right gray‽

Since it says “full human” I like to think the rest are like half-human or something, so they all technically have that in common, even if their other halves are all different

I guess their assumption is anything cast right away will have Legendary Resistance used if the save is failed and the spell is sufficiently debilitating, so better to use Polymorph since it’s lower level but strong enough to warrant using LR.

That and the changing every in-game hour. I’m rarely tracking time down to the hour, so it would either slow things down if they try to make any kind of scene out of it, or we’re just going to gloss over multiple changes, potentially making the whole thing moot. Then you get into a dungeon and someone might be locked out of “their” character for a large chunk of playtime.

Tracking who controlled for longer to determine the next level up sounds pretty tedious too, but I guess that would be the players’ problem to sort out, not the DM’s. I would worry that it may be an unforeseen detriment to their enjoyment though.

“You cast feather fall, and now instead of falling leaves, multicolored feathers fall from the trees and litter the ground. You each take 1d8 psychic damage from this unexpected turn of events”

Showwdair!

Other excuses in this vein:

• DM shouldn’t have provided such a target rich environment
• Had to be sure they weren’t all mimics and/or tree blights

Same but also INT and hidden luck stat

Not every game has Wisdom saves either, I’m just going off what’s in the meme. If you have an ability that can influence the outcome of your rolls, you should be able to see your rolls to use your ability as designed, assuming it’s a roll that you should normally be privy to the result of and not the DM changing things as shown in the meme.

If a player is abusing knowledge of their rolls somehow, the solution isn’t to fuck with game mechanics for everyone at the table, it’s to talk with that person until you can either get on the same page, or not play together.

While this is true, there are also aspects of game play that blind rolls would interfere with, such as Heroic Inspiration or the Lucky feat, where you should be able to see what was rolled in order to use them as designed.

The group I’m playing with now we’re using 5.5. Anyone still playing Adventurer’s League doesn’t have a choice, 5.5 is mandatory there.

Unless your DM is a stickler for the updated 2024 rules, then in that case it can’t, because they changed Twinned Spell to require that the spell let you target additional creatures when cast at higher levels, which Suggestion does not.
