[QUOTE="BlackSeed_Vash, post: 6210902, member: 33580"] 1) As people have said before, 7 dice to a set, but most of the time you need more than one set (especially if your the DM). 2) This is a mater of personal preference. As long as the dice a clearly not weighted I'm more of less fine with whatever dice are handy. 3) Only really noticed a difference when I was taking a statistic course. If I remember correctly my group figured that "sharper and cleaner edges[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Open Sans]" [/FONT][/COLOR]provided about 3% more randomness to the rolls. Oh and by notice, I mean if I didn't have data from across ~36hrs of game-play I wouldn't have had a clue. 4) Not really. Most metal dice of quality costs to damn much and that's not counting in the added cost for precision. Also, my group rotates which house we play at. One of the tables we use is +200 years old and no way we're going to risk denting/scratching it with metal dice. Same goes for glass table we use at another's house Personally I buy my dice in bulk. Cheaper and I often find my self needing a ton of one type for one crazy event or another (Like the time I needed 100 D20s for an encounter with a Hecatoncheires... we ended up ~ 15 dice short). So far, [URL]http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009R6J8RY/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1[/URL], has been the best deal I've found.
