A few months ago my group had an "evil" d8. I kid you not. This thing was possessed (or poorly weighted, but I like the possessed theory more). I forget the exact weapon being used at the time, but the player who belonged to this die would have to roll it constantly for damage. It would consistently come up as a four. We could roll it twenty times in a row and without fail it would come up as a four at least three quarters of the time. If someone else rolled it the die would be normal, but as soon as we handed it back to her it would roll fours again. Really freaky stuff.We eventually decided that the die was either poorly weighted or it was plotting to kill us. Whichever theory happened to be true, the die had to go. First we tried throwing it out, but the player who's die it was kept going back to get it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:"  data-smilie="4"data-shortname=":mad:" /> Since we couldn't get rid of it that way we decided to burn/melt it. It was kind of funny, we walked into the backyard, put the die on a piece of paper and put the paper on a flat rock, and proceeded to set the paper on fire. We literally had to hold this player back (she actually scratched me and drew blood, confirming my theory that the die was evil <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> ) while we melted the die. She still has the half melted die...Morale of the story? Probability is weird and never seems to be right when it comes to dice rolling. Your luck'll get better sooner or later... ...and if it doesn't you can always burn your dice in a disturbing little ceremony out back.</blockquote>
