Does anyone make a D20 which is a percentage dice marked 5-100% in 100% increments? Pref in different colours.. It would be useful for games where you need to roll a lot of percents all at the same time. |

Not a great solution -insofar as it uses twice the number of dice…but more dice is good, right? ; ) -but perhaps a fall-back position… Use pairs of D10s (different colors) with one of the pair marked 00-90 and other 0-9? |

Erm. I mean 5% increments… Yes, I've got the pairs of D10s. It just struck me that the rules we used don't actually need anything more than 5% accuracy so 20-sided would work if anyone made them. Rolling a lot of pairs leads to having to sort the pairs out and dice-knockage. |

Couldn't you just convert those rules into 1-20 scale (ie. divide all numbers by five)? |

I think I saw what you want, once. Chessex maybe? |

Couldn't you just convert those rules into 1-20 scale (ie. divide all numbers by five)? Or roll a regular D20 and multiply by 5? |

No one makes them. You have to have them custom made. I got some made years ago by, I think, Chessex. They were about $1 USD per side, so not cheap, but worth every penny. Pictures on my blog from a few years ago. Mike Bunkermeister Creek

"Couldn't you just convert those rules into 1-20 scale (ie. divide all numbers by five)?" Well… yes. That would involve thinking though… |
