    Box turtles spend a lot of time on land and so are often mistaken for tortoises. But, they have slightly webbed feet, making them turtles! The last difference between turtles and tortoises is shell shape. Because turtles spend time in the water, their shells are flatter for stream-lined swimming.

    This is upsetting me because I'm pretty sure they are tortoises.

    They’re comic book creatures who went from the size of a small pie to human sized with fingers and toes who fight an evil organization called the Foot led by a man who wears only knives. They’re cohorts involve Jason I mean Kasey and Lois Lane I mean April O’Neal. They also fight a pig with a Mohawk who ALSO has fingers so.

    Move on lol

    I got a 3 (from a 20 D). It does not look like I'll be moving on.

    It just seems like if they go through all that trouble to be ninjas they would at least call themselves what they really are.

    Maybe the tortoise family did them wrong and they don’t want to claim that name

    And what happens after they grow up? What do they call themselves?

    Adult Meta Ninja Tortoises? They also probably don't want to call themselves Mutants anymore. And wouldn't it be better to surprise people with the fact they are ninjas?

    So...

    Adult Meta Tortoises?

    That's a 20 sided Dice Roll generator. To see if you can do stuff in D&D you have to roll a 20 sided Die first. I don't have any so I had to do it virtually.

    You can play online Yahtzee with it too.

    Omg I knew D&D used the icosahedron but I did not know there were other die that are the rest of the 5 Platonic solids!

    D&D was made by a bunch of nerds. What did you expect?

    Also I think that's more of a coincidence. The 6, 10, and 20 seem to be used the most.

    I don't think it's a coincidence, since the Platonic solids are all symmetrical and all faces are the same shape and size with the same vertices they'd make the most fair die

    Here:

    Without a doubt, yes. The dice have very specific purposes, from determining attacks and damage to randomly selecting items and outcomes. The reason for this is mathematical in nature.

    Let’s say that you substitute a d20 attack roll with 3d6 instead. Close enough, right? Actually, it’s hugely different. The chances to get any result on a d20 sits on a linear line. As in, there’s an equal chance to hit a One as there is to hit a Ten or a Twenty. The 3d6 is a completely different beast altogether. Outcomes are on a curve, and lean very heavily on median numbers, while outliers are greatly diminished. There’s a .46% chance to roll either the minimum or maximum amounts, while there’s a 12.5% chance to roll a 10 or 11.

    Changing any of the dice in the game fundamentally changes the chances of success or failure. D&D is more than just a fantasy game - its mechanics are mathematically tested for balance and fun. Remove that, and the game becomes much more… erratic.

    They're talking about the probability differences in rolling 3 separate die with 18 total sides than one with 20 total sides. That's completely different.

    It's just 2 extra sides, don't be a cube.

    Here:

    Without a doubt, yes. The dice have very specific purposes, from determining attacks and damage to randomly selecting items and outcomes. The reason for this is mathematical in nature.

    Let’s say that you substitute a d20 attack roll with 3d6 instead. Close enough, right? Actually, it’s hugely different. The chances to get any result on a d20 sits on a linear line. As in, there’s an equal chance to hit a One as there is to hit a Ten or a Twenty. The 3d6 is a completely different beast altogether. Outcomes are on a curve, and lean very heavily on median numbers, while outliers are greatly diminished. There’s a .46% chance to roll either the minimum or maximum amounts, while there’s a 12.5% chance to roll a 10 or 11.

    Changing any of the dice in the game fundamentally changes the chances of success or failure. D&D is more than just a fantasy game - its mechanics are mathematically tested for balance and fun. Remove that, and the game becomes much more… erratic.


    But also this is interesting:

    They're talking about the probability differences in rolling 3 separate die with 18 total sides than one with 20 total sides. That's completely different.

    It's just 2 extra sides, don't be a cube.

    Yes but with one die you only have one outcome, with 3 die you have the chances of three different outcomes on the same roll. You're such a tetrahedron

    I should point out that the idea is to add up the numbers on the 3 dice. It's also impossible to get a 1 or a 2, which is pretty awesome in D&D as rolling a 1 seriously *kitten* up *kitten*.

    As luck would have it there are some memes that help illustrate not wanting to roll a 1.
