| [[Image:D3.jpg|frame|D3.]]The D3... | | #REDIRECT [[Dice#d3]] |
| | |
| | |
| Not much to say about it.
| |
| | |
| [[Warhammer 40k]] uses D3's every once in awhile - Rending, [[Manticore Rocket Launcher|Manticores]], & other cases such as +D3 attacks, 2 + D3 objectives, etc. Most of the time, they don't actually use a D3 - they just roll a [[d6]], at which points two schools of thought engage in a holy war:
| |
| * Some substract 3 from any result that's 4 or higher. So, for example, a 5 becomes a 2.
| |
| * Others divide the result by two, rounding up. So, for example, a 5 becomes a 3.
| |
| The 40k rulebook explicitly proselytizes the latter, which means the former is [[heresy]].
| |
| | |
| Actual D3's come in two major flavours: The weird triangular nublette things seen to the right which are largely used by people who think having weird dice makes you interesting, and D6es which had 1,2 and 3 written on them twice used by people who like to build things out of dice.
| |
| | |
| Since you can readily simulate a d3 result easily enough without obtaining extra dice why in the hell would you bother?
