[QUOTE="G.A. Donis, post: 520393, member: 1758"] I think I get what may be bothering you about the person "rolling" a d4. d4's don't really "roll", they bounce. If someone tricky enough could use the proper amount of "drop" on a surface that wasn't "bouncy" then the d4 would hit and stick (kinda of like the One Ring). A very talented person could maybe pull this off and "rig" his "roll" to be what they wanted. d10's would be alot harder to do this since they tend to actually roll. If you are worried about someone cheating in this way, I'd just make them roll the d10s. As an offshoot...I was doing some Central Casting stuff for an aberrant type game last night and rolled a d10 to determine a trait. Rolled a 0. DM didn't think that trait fit into the styel of game he was going to run so he said reroll. I did and it came up 0. He said reroll. I did and it came up 0. He said reroll. I did and it came up 0. At that point we decided it was fate and let the roll stand :) It was his die and I'm thinking I should have palmed it and used it for stabilization rolls or damage rolls in the Rokugan game he also runs.
