… “is a tool for something much more serious… Divination.”
The Divination Wizzard:
Wouldn’t divination be more accurate if it is a Loremaster Cleric?
Don’t tell the our divination wizard that… they already broke out their “special” d20.
I just suggested it, as I played in a campaign as a Dweomersmith/Wizard with a Loremaster/Cleric, and a Psionic Monk. We were pretty much unstoppable, even without our followers.
That sounds like a fun team.
The div in our party plays like an idiot-savant. Total himbo, except occasionally useful. (It is fun, don’t get me wrong.)
This doesn’t make sense.
Zeta isn’t the last letter of the Greek alphabet, Omega is. And Upsilon is the 20th if they could only fit twenty letters on a twenty sided die.
Here’s another thing that doesn’t make sense about that post:
If you play Dungeons & Dragons, this object probably stops you in your tracks.
If you just play Dungeons & Dragons, then it looks like the hundreds or thousands of other d20s you’ve seen. Barely worth a look.
On the other hand, if you just like dice, like a lot of TTRPG people do, then it might catch your attention.
Except for the post title I didn’t see any implication that zeta would be the highest value in the text.
Yeah that immediately set off the bullshit detectors. Everything else in this post looks stupid but that sounded like utter crap

“… a tool for something much more serious”
“an ancient Magic 8-Ball”
So, not too serious then.
weird enough i’m more interested in the faience that’s gorgeous
So Romans actually rolled for initiative?
I dunno. But i find it funny that even back then the divination wizards needed their special hard-to-read dice.
Like, bro. I have a chart with all your symbols on it.
I’m wondering if these have anything to do with the dodecahedron that they find in Roman areas in northern europe
the hollow bronze things with the studs?
probably not some for of die- divination or otherwise. They just wouldn’t roll well. There’s a few uses for those things that seem likely. Rangefinding (mount it on a staff and peep through the holes, , some sort of symbolic use, or simply just being some sort of decorative weirdness.
(I mean, really. Think about all the jangly things people have on, like backpacks or purses or keychains. People have always been people.)
IIRC weren’t those knitting implements/frames? idk the only thing i know to do with yarn is play with it :3
They can be used for that, but there’s no evidence of wear on them from that usage and there’s simpler tools for that job
well i posit the ones that actually got used wore down to filings and these were overstock because it was a fad anyways. like pet rocks i should go feed mine.
Sounds like a paper fortune teller, I wonder how serious they’d be taken
