Just because they aren't Platonic solids doesn't mean all of the others are totally weird cludges - the Catalan solids are still mathematically a thing. The d24 shape naturally occurs in copper and fluorite crystals and is a Kleetope too (which no one probably cares about, but the name seems...

I will certainly nuke people without interacting with them if they are particularly egregious. A large portion of the ones I've done that to have eventually been removed from the site by the mods. I have a couple folks apparently blocking me where I'm kind of curious what I got on their bad...

I think I meant "could" and had a wrong letter and missing quotes!

@Maxperson on the other hand, it would be fun to work out the economy and culture of a place where most people (commoners) only used clubs as weapons, and ditto for all other NPC classes only using the weapon listed in the MM.

The current Finnish president went to Furman University in South Carolina, originally on a golf scholarship (and then he doubled down on political science).

But by your math arguments, why shouldn't every game just go to d24 and skip all of the other funky dice. (In the long scope of general public games, everything except a d6 is a funky die, right?). If everyone just did that, they would be easy to find. In any case, it looks like the going...

If one wants to go that way, then just a d24 and nothing else? Per your claim it is insignificantly different from a d100. It also exactly does a d2, d3, d4, d6, d8, and d12. And it is either similar to d10 with a d8 and d12, similar as 1/10th of the d100 you claim, or gives the d10 by just...

No argument. My guess is the goal was to make Dragons something that are used more often in "Dungeons and Dragons" instead of mostly just a high level scary.

I hadn't looked in depth at the changes between 2014 and 2024 yet. Googling around, I kind of liked this rejoinder. For ancient Red, going from 2014 to 2024: 39 fewer hit points 4 CHR higher Worth 13,000 more XP in lair 1 more out of lair, 2 more in legendary resistance Smoothed bite and claw...

That's a big change to the entire game.
