In PF2e, you get Hero Points which allow you to reroll checks. We use a house rule that if you use a Hero Point and roll the same number on the die, you must use that number (no more rerolls) however you don't spend your Hero Point.
It comes up surprisingly often.
Statistically it comes up 5% of the time you use a hero point, so yeah, about as often as rolling a nat 20.
People typically don't use fair dice. There's often a much higher than 1/20 chance of getting a particular result
Dice are polished to remove molding marks, which also rounds off edges and makes faces different sizes
But they are polished equally on each side, right?
They often are polished the way rocks are, tumbled with abrasives, which randomly wears them down
Few expensive dice will be polished carefully
I trust internet dice rollers over commodity dice, d6 is pretty much the only one easy to get fair versions made for the gambling industry
How do you know all that?
I read a lot and own game science dice. Game science described the process in their marketing to explain how their dice were different
Is that some kind of company? Or am I missing a very obvious joke?
Game science was a company that made fair role playing game dice
