[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 8576985, member: 6790260"] The only die I actually consider special is the rhombic dodecahedron. I don't own any, but that's a die I would want to have. They're a very distinctive shape, and yet have the same number of faces as a regular d12. (Would actually make a d144 really easy to do, too--no need for adding 0s to one of the d12s, just declare the pentagonal dodecahedron is the "twelves" digit and the rhombic is the ones digit.) d12s are also really nice because you can easily convert them into d2, d3, d4, and d6, AND the rhombic dodecahedron has the bonus of actually tiling space, like the cube. You could quite easily reduce a super-comprehensive set of polyhedral dice to just, say, ten each of d8, d10, pentagonal d12, rhombic d12, and d20. (Heck, you could even cut out the d10s and just roll d20s and halve the value, just like with the d12->d6 conversion.) [/QUOTE]
