Dice of different sizes being thrown in slow motion. A die (sg.: die or dice; pl.: dice) [1] is a small, throwable object with marked sides that can rest in multiple positions. Dice are used for generating random values, commonly as part of tabletop games, including dice games, board games, role-playing games, and games of chance.
Crazy dice is a mathematical exercise in elementary combinatorics, involving a re-labeling of the faces of a pair of six-sided dice to reproduce the same frequency of sums as the standard labeling. The Sicherman dice are crazy dice that are re-labeled with only positive integers .
A is the number of dice to be rolled (usually omitted if 1). X is the number of faces of each die. The faces are numbered from 1 to X, with the assumption that the die generates a random integer in that range, with uniform probability. For example, if a game calls for a roll of d4 or 1d4, it means "roll one 4-sided die."
Long dice [1] (sometimes oblong [2] or stick [2] [3] dice) are dice, often roughly right prisms or (in the case of barrel dice) antiprisms, designed to land on any of several marked lateral faces, but neither end. Landing on end may be rendered very rare simply by their small size relative to the faces, by the instability implicit in the height ...
The d20 System includes a four-sided tetrahedral die among other dice with 6, 8, 10, 12 and 20 faces. Tetrahedral dice are peculiar in that there is no topmost face when a die comes to rest. There are several common ways of indicating the value rolled. On some tetrahedral dice, three numbers are shown on each face.

1/3 of the die-face values can be divided by three having a carry over of one. 1/3 of the die-face values can be divided by three having a carry over of two. The probability for a given number with all three dice is 11/36, for a given rolled double is 1/36, for any rolled double 1/4.
The Power die is rolled with the five standard dice and shows how the point value of scoring category of the faces on the standard dice should be multiplied. Three faces of the Power die are marked "1," "2," and "3," which simply indicate that the score should be multiplied by the shown number. The three other faces denote special actions for ...
