Another option for the die would be to use a 16-sided D+D die.

WhisperzQ: 16 sided? there was only 12 and 20 ,as dictated by geometry. To get 16 you'd need to roll 2 4-sided dice. The first would be 0, 4, 8 or 12 and the other 1,2,3,4.

Jules: i remember an 8-sided dice actually, which wasn't a regular shape. 16 is probably possible as well, though I never saw it while I played.

BIG BAD WOLF: Right, my mistake, the 8-sided is regular but the 10-sided wasn't.

I had 4,6,8,10(used for %age),12,20 . I think that was the standard set.

grenv: Nowadays there's dice of all kinds :)

Result of the throw of dice "8d23" :

13 + 5 + 23 + 7 + 8 + 20 + 13 + 18 = 107
