The set has been rather appropriately named the "Yellow Piss Dice", both for it's color, and how it rolls. Generally speaking, every die in the set tends toward low rolls. It is the "spare set" that players in my run get if they forgot their dice. It was so consistently low, especially the d20, that it was only loved when we played Alternity, a system where lower is better.Now, one friend of mine joined my D&D run about halfway through it's 13 year run, and had what could only be called the WORST die rolling luck I'd ever seen.Thinking that two negatives could make a positive, I handed him the YPD, and they had found their master - and routinely changed their average to the high side on every die. It was the weirdest thing I've ever seen. He went out and got himself a plain monochrome plastic set in the exact same style as the YPD, and they treat him the same, rolling on average medium to high, contrary to his prior horrible die rolling luck.Made it damn hard to challenge him those last few years, too.</blockquote>
