| For some reason ... the six-sided dice that match the other dice in polyhedral sets ... have
traditionally been numbered instead of pipped (with spots or polka
dots) |
WHEN WOULD A D6 BE USED?
| Dungeons and
Dragons: Three d6's are used to generate character statistics ... this generates random numbers between 3 and 18 with an average of 10.5 ... Another use is for generating hit points (life points) for non warrior type combatants such as thieves or bards... Other uses are for generating damage of small weapons such as short swords or short bows ... or high level weapons such as greatswords when used in multilples |
