[QUOTE="Simia Saturnalia, post: 3807674, member: 53692"] I maintain two dice bags; my overflow bag which contains extra d6's (for casters/rogues) and d10s (for most of the other games I play) and advises me that Jesus will only be taking half damage, and my handcrafted main bag in gold and purple which contains 20 sets of 7 dice each suitable for D&D, every single one of them a Chessex die. Each character I play has his or her set (or sets) of dice selected from the bag to be appropriate to the character; the paladin in my .sig, for example, uses the white-with-black for his primary attack, and red-with-silver for his secondary attack. This strategy is lucky as long as you pick the right color of dice - I make it easy on myself by only having 10 color schemes in the bag. Dice not in use are re-randomized by the bag (because everyone knows that purple and gold are the optimum colors for a dice bag, both by sympathetic association and their opposition on the color wheel) so other players may use them freely. I did once buy a set of dice - dark grey with white swirls and red ink - that proceeded to prove themselves cursed. In six sessions of play I never rolled higher than a 12 on the d20 (and was often closer to 6) and doing more than half possible damage was a miracle. Let a friend borrow them and they were on fire all night. Gave them to him then and there and he's only ever used dice of that color scheme since that day. [/QUOTE]
