Ah yes... Rigged dice be magic. That's certainly a way to avoid blame. But, honestly... It seemed like everyone had fun playing essentially D6 dice with a +15 modifier. Plus, everyone had it so it's probably fine.

After watching Zee bashews video on dice, I loved the video and jokingly determined my dice's type. I only have a single Halloween set of dice. Turns out my d20 is a shy dice. It will usually scale slowly up and down during the game. If I roll out the low rolls while the story goes on, I will usually roll high.

[@cicisstormshelter1076]

Friend: "Whoops, I gave you the wrong dice, these are rigged." Angry as f'k DM: "YA THINK???!" As long as everyone is happy being murderhobos, then there is nothing to be angry about. XD

This is one that sticks in my mind. A long time ago we were playing 2e AD&D. I was playing an elven fighter/rogue who was primarily an archer. We’re pursuing a someone who was the subject of a vendetta of one of the players. We end up in a abandoned town with long dead bodies everywhere. We find a quiver on one of the bodies where the arrow shafts rotted away both the heads were still pristine and sharp. We didn’t have time to try to identify and the dm played the spell cast by players like a q&a game. Identify let you ask questions to try to figure out what it did but didn’t say outright. Since I was the main archer I took the arrowheads. We eventually got to the location of the bbeg and it turd out he became a death knight with multiple undead soldiers. The fighters charge through the undead and couldn’t be happier to be smashing them. My standard arrows aren’t doing anything with rolls of like 17. I take a couple rounds to swap out regular arrowheads with new ones. Meanwhile the battle happy fighters have reached the death knight and can’t hit either. The dm reminds me that we have no idea what they do and some of the others are telling me not to do it. I loose 3 arrows. The first 2 miss even with one having a roll of 19. I roll a natural 20 on the 3rd. The death knight falls over. Turns out they were arrows of undead slaying and the dm planned on us using them later. He just tossed aside his notebook and put his head in his hands. Turns out he planned on it going another 3 sessions at least and now it was over. That is one of my most memorable game sessions.

I disagree, it might have been an original magic trick coming from someone who plays dnd so he would use a d20 on a trick.

I have a lapis lazuli d20 that became legendary among my group after it rolled 5 nat 20s in a single session. Two of those were in the hands of another player who hadn't been able to roll above a 10 with any other d20 that night.

"HE GAVE ME LOADED DICE?!"

[@DarthVadersHeart]

My son and I are currently in a 2nd edition AD&D game and our entire group dreads whenever he rolls for anything that effects the group as it always puts us in a bad situation. For example the campaign is set in an arctic setting and one time he rolled for weather, keep in mind his character is the only one with weather sense, and we got trapped for a week straight in a furious blizzard. Not just any blizzard one that was so cold if you were out side and failed a Con check you took 7 damage, keep in mind we all had about 10 hp at this point. This after he told us it would be bright and sunny with a high of 20 degrees. Another time he rolled a random encounter and we were attacked by 2 polar bears after traversing across barren wilderness and our horses were exhausted to the point their shoes had worn off. I almost froze to death while in reverie that night when one of the horses ran off with the wagon I was in. Then they brought another horse and he rolled to move the wagon and the horse dropped dead with a 5% chance. Our group considers my son the harbinger of doom when he rolls.

[@alyssabaerne9508]

'Sunny with a high of 20 a forecast before deathly freezing cold' hm, aoinds like the dutch wheather. Forecast says bright and sunny next day, nope that's snow, not sunshine. Never trust wheather forecasts, then again we have weather stuff telling us it'll be a bright cloudless day while it's already pouring rain outside which then keeps up the entire day.

[@PozerAdultRacingTeam]

Basically a massive war between a shit ton of monsters and a party of one man armies that made themselves known across the battlefield.

[@morzanstormbringer7722]

The time my dice said no to me. I was DMing a 3.5 game and was having a Lich bring his undead horde to bear against the kingdom. The PCs gathered their resources and, being level 12-14 (some level adjustment as well due to certain races... Looking at you, Goliath), went to meet the host with their smaller army. Battle started as well as any until the Death Knight lieutenant was fielded. About two dozen zombies and a few ghouls surrounded the leader as the PCs ran forward. Que them dying in less than five rounds to spells and decent tactics, all because the dice could not roll high enough to make the saves. Edit: I mean the monsters, not the PCs. The monsters failed all but one save from numerous turns and AoE spells

[@MartinKelly-bx6ft]

Note to self remember to grab my grocery bag full of dice and then bring it to the next D&D session

[@alyssabaerne9508]

In regards to 'dice out for blood' i still greatly recall the in character pain a friend of mine suffered. My fiancee has 1 set of dice that tend to roll high as soon as the roll in any way involves pain, and this happened in a campaign i was dm-ing. A homebrew setting, isekai style, which meant my players played themselves but had been given free reign for race and class selection (althoug a minor addition i had placed on any spells cast in anyones firat 3 levels of using magic). One of them had managed to woo a demi-godess npc who travelled with them and proposed to her, though he bptched the proposal and thus she wanted to fix that by proposing to him as well and afterwards punish him for botching his in the first place. Now here comes 'the pain' this demi-goddess is a multiclass barbarian with a single level of cleric. The cleric level being her mother who tried to teach her to use her divine magic in a safe way but that never succeeded. However from her background, she has trouble controlling her strength when she wants to use it 'delicately', something she wanted to do this time since her 'punishment' for him was 'meant' to be a mild nutflick. (As former man i do know that even a mild one hurts like heck, but in that npc's mind, so long as she held back it shouldn't be too bad) Queu bloodthirsty dice. My fiancee handed me the percentile dice from her set lovingly nicknamed 'the blood dice' because they were red and usually performed great in combat scenarios. I went with it, not expecting too much out of it and since i couldn't find my own percentile dice to roll the percentage she would use. And oh boy did those dice want to make him feel pain. Rolling for the percentage of her strength she used, the dice came to 95% which meant her 'held back nutflick' was performed at 95% of her full strength. Which meant his charactercwas permanently infertile, his voice raised several octaves and her couldn't sit for weeks ingame. Oh i'll never forget that one. A deni-goddess barbarian (she would have gone into the war domain upon reaching godhood, which made this so much more painful) intending to hold back, the dice did not agree... ever since, my table feared the blood dice whenever they weren't used for combat, me included.

[@corybaldwin1168]

This was 3.5 in an epic level campaign. My ranger was soloing a Balor in midair and totally screwed since the rest of my party was busy and unable to help. Balor rolls a one, and for this DM that means he rolls to hit himself. Nat 20. Confirms. The massive, flying balor swings his mighty vorpal sword at me in what is sure to be a killing blow and... cuts off his own head!

[@DesMuttYS]

At least the use of high-rolling only dice was an accident. I remember one time when some people I knew were playing, and I stopped by mid-game. One of the guys had a new d20, and I watched him filing down the 1 side. My guess is that he was trying to make it larger, flatter, and a little rough, so the die would be more likely to stop on it, giving him a better chance at "natural 20"

[@megatronryker8930]

Lol loved that ending

[@stygiansage2661]

In the groups I played with I have cemented the role of dice curse removal. So d>4 (nothing can stop a D4 from rolling low) is rolling low I get handed the dice quickly to get them back in line with average, I can't bless them. We don't know how I can do this and we don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Idk if this exists in any other group, but mine has a taboo of our own. We do not use dice we don't own or didn't buy. So gifted dice, borrowed dice, or any dice we didn't purchase are not to be used unless absolutely necessary. If we do, we will have bad luck when rolling. I kinda believe this cuz my first character had absolutely terrible luck during my first couple sessions. After I got my own sets, things did start looking up.

[@thatcrazyguyeveryonelikes4197]

This sounds like one of those situations. They were broke teenagers who it seems hadn't played the game at all before. And why aren't gifted dice allowed. If they're gifted you own them.
