M:tG boxed set as a life counter, with rounded edges instead of sharp corners (theoretically a cosmetic change only).  This D20 is always first in my line-up.  It is biased toward 20's, 18's, 11's, and 2's, and against 8, 12, and 17 (it rolls a biased number about 35-40% of the time and is the only d20 I've seen roll 5 consecutive 20's).  I also have a percentile that rolls almost exclusively 00, 10, 80 or 90.  It's crazy.  It's been banned from random item creation tables because the die is unbalancing.A friend of mine had a green and white pipped d6 that earned the nickname 'Wild Die of DOOM' (for the old d6 star wars system-a wild die is rolled with any skill check, 6=add 6 and reroll the die, 1=subtract your highest roll-usually a 5 or 6-from the check result).  The die would go through phases.  Sometimes it loved him, sometimes it hated him.  We played a bit of a variant in which if the wild die hits on 1, not only do you subtract, but you roll the die again.  I watched him roll a 76 on 3d6+the wild die.  a few sessions later he rolled dead 0 on 6d6+the wild.  He charted his rolls for a month and the breakdown had 6's and 1's in no greater concentrations than the other numbers, the die just liked to roll them in strings.</blockquote>
