D3.

The D3...


Not much to say about it.

Warhammer 40k uses D3's every once in awhile - Rending, 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.
