I know WHAT it is, but I dont know why it exists, what use it has, or where it may have come from. All sides are identical, its translucent green. The pips are scalloped, not painted on, and are otherwise unremarkable. Help me out here, its definitely my favorite d6, but I am struggling to figure out a purpose for a +5 dice.
...I mean, aside from that I need a +5 weapon, clearly.
Maybe a bonus die for a 3d6 system rpg. It would guarantee a higher result at the cost of being unable to crit.
yeah it would guarantee a roll of 5
7 to 17 if the other two dice are normal. It also avoids a critical fail.
why not just roll 2d6+5?
For flavor.
i'd honestly just feel dumb rolling a trick dice at the table.
The idea is it would be given as loot. Something like a single use item to buff a roll. An actual die makes it easier to keep track of and show you're using it.
