Thing is, "each side has a 5% of showing up" is only true if the dice is perfectly weighted and in pristine shape. Manufacturing flaws and / or wear & tear can load the dice toward certain sides, making the results not-so-random anymore. Personally, I use a dice rolling app' on my smartphone.

@@gryffehondor4236 If the die is not true (and no real die would be perfectly true even when new) then the probability is not 5% exactly for each side. But it's a very different thing to claim that what happened previously will effect future rolls, or that the die is effected by how to talk around it or how you feel or if the check is very important or not or if you've trained it properly. So it's still random in that sense, even if it's no longer true and is doing a garbage job of making all outcomes equally likely.

There's the put your dice in a cup of water and salt test. You poke the dice to the bottom and do it like 20 times, imbalanced dice will somewhat obviously float up with a rotation back to the same area on the dice when tried a good number of times. A taller glass of salty water will do better as it has more time to readjust on it's way to the surface.

to be honest, resin dice can have tiny air bubbles in them, which can make them more likely to roll onto certain numbers. although, this likelyhood may for example only change the chance from 5% to like 5.3%, so it would take thousands of dice rolls to reliably find out what the actual chances are.

I mean, someone (I forget where) did some math on this, and for a d20 to be meaningfully "weighted" it would have to be incredibly heavy and extremely noticeable, and even then, because there's so many sides, it would only really be weighted in one direction. Plus, since any good d20 has alternating numbers (the 20 is next to the 2, which is opposite the 19, which is next to the 1), this still wouldn't guarantee good rolls.

But every time I fought a one-on-one dual for serious, story-line stakes, I dropped 20s and took fights I statistically should have lost. Sure, you could invent some "humility" feat that gives you divine penalties for exhibition matches and divine bonuses for fighting for right....but it's a lot funnier when it happens by accident.

I learned only a few years ago that some dice are made in such a way that air bubbles get trapped inside the plastic as they're being molded, making them unbalanced. This is when you start getting dice that roll certain numbers frequently. You can check the balance on your dice by making a solution of water and salt until the die floats. Once it's buoyant enough to float, roll it with your finger. If it's unbalanced it will keep returning to the same numbers. Clear dice are easy to tell, since you can see any bubbles at a glance.

Dice do actually have personalities, scientifically speaking. The thing is, dice are not perfect. A tiny little bubble in the middle of the die; no real deliberate fault of the manufacturer usually, can bias the die towards certain rolls. And unfortunately, there usually isn't any way to check if there is a bubble without destroying the die. (unless it is large enough a bubble to affect the die's facing while floating in water) Different personalities are the result of the size of these bubbles, and where they are in relation to the numbers. If you have a die biased towards landing on a 20, you'll frequently see the three numbers directly touching the 20, and you will almost never see a 1 which is typically on the opposite side of the die. Unlike 6 sided dice which have a standardized face layout, different manufacturers sometimes make 20 sided dice with different faces. For example if you look up a 20 sided die, it's accompanying faces are commonly 2, 14, and 8. But you can also find 16, 19, and 13. A die that both has a bias towards 20 *and* has that less common layout would have a phenomenally high performance record, whereas the first layout would appear to be an average roller. With all these factors; many invisible or unnoticeable, it's little wonder people developed a superstition about dice personality. But... Ironically in this case, it's not actually wrong.

It will consistently roll 7-13 whenever I am just messing around but, again, never below a 15 when it counts. I have rolled this dice at our games probably 1000 times by now. My DM made me perform a test to prove it wasn't a cheat die and when it passed he banned it from ever being used in critical moments anyways after it rolled *4* natural 20s in a row against Strahd. That's a 1 in 160,000 chance, and it was banned because it wasn't the first time it happened. To be fair, the first time it happened was for something completely inane and stupid so it didn't matter, but it's just the super prodigy of all super prodigies.

(for those who actually are confused: dice can have bad weightings which can cause them to roll specific numbers more often. but since a bad weighting is usually not on a specific number, but on a part of the dice, it also has a high likelihood of also rolling the numbers around the much rolled number. d20s are almost always laid out in such a way that there are low numbers around high numbers and high numbers around low numbers, which means bad weightings are almost entirely equalised. thus, dice conspiracy has some reality, but not much actual effect)

I created a d20 that is really close to random. It's 3d printed in 20 segments, then glued together with hot glue. The hot glue core means that when it hits the table it really rolls. It some how is able to convert most of its energy into rotational force instead of bouncing back up.

I had a player once that sanded down the edges around all numbers that weren't above 15 and when I found out I honestly was just impressed. It was really hard to tell because it was just an unpainted d20 so you can't really make out the features well, it would roll then make a hard stop on a good number. And thats why he isn't allowed to use his own dice anymore

Part of this is kinda true, a lot of dice, plastic ones especially, are weighted in some way, usually from bubbles inside of them. The weighting is often to a corner, so you could have one weighted to the forner of 20, 14, and 16 and roll higher, or get one weighted toward one of 1s corners and get a low and slow.

I have two DMs who are like, two extreme examples when it comes to rolling dice. Both of them have a container full of assorted dice, and both of them roll their dice out in the open. One of them owns an infamous pair of d20s which we call in our group the "cheese dice" which are yellow and have killed so many players that its scary. The other one has a really good rolling technique that consistently gives him good rolls regardless of which dice he uses.

we have a traitor, I won it in a competition. After my character got capture, tortured and thrown in jail as a result of Five 1s in a row my group each took turns rolling the dice. Everyone rolled the dice 3 times and all at least got a 1 once, but no one rolled higher than a 7. As a result my DM at the time made a box to hold the dice with curse marks all over the box and the curse dice was born. From that point on whenever one of us rolled a 1 we had to use the curse dice for a few rolls. Everyone in my group is afraid of that dice.

I like how the advice boiled down to, "Buy the die right away". When shopping for a die test it this way. If it comes up with a number BUY IT. If it comes up with a strange eldritch symbol even though you already saw that it only had numbers on it before you rolled it? BUY IT. Does the die whisper to you promising that it will always roll well for you? Don't trust it but buy it!

I actually own a traitor die, one given to me by my brother who is also my DM, and when he bought it, it came in the set of the Cursed Die and the Blessed Die. The Cursed Die has a personality that my whole group acknowledges, to the point that it is partially known as the "Story Die" for how many times it will set the story exactly where we were planning for. That die, no matter how many games I play, will forever be my go-to.
