Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mark CMG" data-source="post: 5807736" data-attributes="member: 10479">Some editions of the game have us constantly opening the drawstrings on our fancy dice bags or digging through that pile of polyhedrons we dump on the table at the beginning of each game night.  But with others, and this can depend largely on character choices, once we're locked into a character and his weaponry, we might use our favorite d20 and a chosen damage die for weeks without ever picking up another from our often extensive collections.So why buy a whole set of dice to play in a game where we only use a couple/few of them?  Some of us have multiple sets because it can be helpful when we run a game but even then use relatively few of what we bring or have purchased.  d20s are great but how bout a little love for the other dice?  How about some unusually numbered dice like my d14 and d24?  Or my d12 with months on it or that cool <a href="http://www.creativemountaingames.com/2011/07/12-sided-die-with-hit-locations.html" target="_blank">d12 with body part hit locations</a>?For 5E, do we want to use all sort sof dice?  Are we happy having purchased a set only to use mostly a couple and pick up a few others every now and then?  Does it slow the game down to have to dig through all those dice for the odd d4 or occasional d12 roll?  Can we ever have enough d6s?  Do you have a favorite d20?But mainly, should 5E be designed to really get all of the dice rolling?  (Also, I've added a poll with the d20 missing that asks what dice should see regular use in 5E.  I figure the d20 is a given but if you think it should be gone from 5E please add a post so the rest of us can know who you are and invite you to our games.)</blockquote>
