Cute!
I may introduce them into my Planescape game as Monodrone crafted magic items.

Is there a reason the tetrahedron is at-will while the rest are encounter powers? (+1 to every d4 roll is really good - it means if you have a 2d4 damage weapon it effectively increases the expected [W] from 5 to 7.)

Also, what item slot does this take up? If these are implements, then they're primary slot items and need to be statted up like them - with the progression of different plus values and (possibly) critical die bonus.

It's sorta hard to say much about these, as no class can use them without further houseruling.



Cheers,

Cool! I like the idea!

Of course, implements that are dice should be broken and over-powered, because we are role-players aren't we? So you need to make them much stronger...!

My guesses:

Also, what item slot does this take up? If these are implements, then they're primary slot items and need to be statted up like them - with the progression of different plus values and (possibly) critical die bonus.

I think they are intended as generic implements. That is, you take one of these (say the d6 one), and then you (the DM, that is) choose your intended Orb or Rod or whatever and reskin it as a Polyhedron. Meaning you could add whatever "effect on criticals" and "daily effect" you like.

It's sorta hard to say much about these, as no class can use them without further houseruling.

I think it's best to to assume any class (any arcane class, at any rate) could use them as replacements for their original ones, for purposes of analysing them and leaving comment. Don't you?

NEW WIZARD CLASS FEATURE: Polyhedron of Power
This class feature replaces the implement mastery class feature.
You become proficient with polyhedron implements.
Once per encounter, if you have a polyhedron equipped, you may designate two squares within ten squares of you as portals. Creatures that enter one of those squares may teleport to the other as a free action as long as the other square is unoccupied.
The portals close at the end of the encounter.
