[QUOTE="delericho, post: 5519352, member: 22424"] If he's not clearly indicating when his "test rolls" end and his "real roll" begins ([i]before[/i] the "real roll"), then he is flat-out cheating. Whether this is the case or not, by using "test rolls" to select his dice, he's slowing the game down, and clearly annoying other players. That being the case, you really have to do something. I would rule that whenever he is called on to make a roll (whether it's his turn, or in response to something else), he's expected to [i]immediately[/i] pick up the appropriate dice and roll them, [u]once[/u], then and there. If he wants to do "test rolls", to preselect his die, or any other ritual then that's up to him - but he has to do it before the roll is called for, not after. As for the question of using multiple sets of dice, or anything else - provided [i]all[/i] the dice are fair, and provided they're all suitably legible, I wouldn't care how they are selected, how many sets he uses, or anything like that. (Personally, my preference is for players to use colour-coded dice, so the d10 is obviously different from the d8 and the d12, but that's mostly because one of my players can't seem to tell them apart by shape alone. In any case, that's just a personal preference, not a ruling I would consider imposing on the table.) [/QUOTE]
