D&D 5E Which of dice is the most special? Why?

[Fauchard1520]

How do you approach dice collecting? Do you like to keep a proper dice hoard, or do you have a Master Set that you use for every game? Perhaps a most special icosahedron inherited from your forebears? If you've got a most special die, what makes it special?

(Comic for illustrative purposes.)

All of my dice are in the virtual space now. That means nobody getting their greasy pizza fingers on my math rocks or rolling dice off the table.

I have one dice bag I use for D&D/PF/DCC games. Its a Blantons bag because I'm classy AF. I have a few cubes of colored D6 for some games I play like Battletech. Though, as far as gamers with dice obsessions go, im pretty far behind in the race.

We bought a pound o'dice a while back and I looked through those to have matching sets. So if I'm running a PC with multiple attacks, I can roll all my dice at once including attack and damage. I can even roll not knowing if I'll have advantage because my translucent blue is always my primary D20 and my swirly blue is ignored unless I have advantage or disadvantage.

I also always do black then blue in sequence, adding white then red if I have that many attacks.

12 sided

Because I like to watch the confusion on peoples faces when they think they just rolled a 20 sided.

 

[Lidgar]

D4. Because its the pointiest.

Most special? That'd be my black d24.

My most special definitely has to be my translucent d20 that's damn near impossible to read, and actually only goes from 1-10. It's useless, deceptive, and I love it.

I still have a d20 from back in the 80s from about the time we started playing. The plastic was terrible back then and all the edges are chipped and broken so it mostly just rolls around like a ball.

I was at the local convention a few year's ago and the DM was asking me why I was rolling a d20 instead of a d10. I told him I can use the second number on the d20 to get a d10 and he seemed amazed.

I will point out that only one die has an entire order of grognardspaladins devoted to it. And that would be the Order of the d30, a relic of a forgotten empire (namely, Google+).
