What would be the optimal number of dice to bring that would cover a variety of classes in relatively normal situations and avoid lots of rerolling? I can think of some extraordinary situations where I'd roll 12d12 for damage ( critting with a +6 vorpal execution axe and using the daily on a war ring without having reached a milestone for example ). But those situations are not too common, and I don't feel the need to have a dozen or more d12s in my dice bag. I'd like the bag to fit in my pocket. How many d20s do most of you roll when they're attacking multiple monsters? If my blast 3 catches nine enemies, then I'll roll three sets of 3d20. Actually, I rarely ever roll more than 3d20. I start losing track of which color goes with which monster pretty quick. I know this sounds a bit OCD, I'd guess most people just dump a variety of dice in their bag and don't think twice about it - or carry one block of chessex dice and have us sit patiently while rolling that single die over and over and over. But I'm curious on how you guys decide how many dice are enough?</blockquote>
