[QUOTE="orsal, post: 2294335, member: 16016"] Funny, I thought I was explaining why it doesn't matter that it isn't regular. It's just as useful as a die. I'm tempted not to vote it out just to contradict your attempt to claim my endorsement. But on reflection, I have to admit that it's the best choice for elimination now. Most of my D&D playing was back in the early 80s, with the dice we got with the Basic boxed set (although I mostly played AD&D), and I never felt any lack of a d10 that actually had only 10 sides. The d20 worked fine for the purpose. Since in a fit of collective misguidedness we have already eliminated the d12, the d6 is now indispensable, and it's easier to use a d20 to simulate a d10 than vice versa. So, this may be the best time to go all Platonic-solid. Oh, and thanks for the award. I've been hoping one of these days I will get an award as a math teacher, but always thought it would come from my university, on the basis of student evaluations, and not from someone posting on a website who only knows me by the name of a Fighting Man --> Human Fighter I used to play over 20 years ago.
