Why does a D10 have a 0?
Why does a D10 have a 0? With nine single-digit faces and only a single two-digit face, using 0 instead of 10 allows them to print all the faces at a similar large font size. The other is, as others have noted, to make the die work better for rolling “percentiles.” In this case, you roll two ten sided dice.
What does 00 0 mean on a D100?
When rolling a D100 percentile dice, when the D10 results in a 10 (zero side up), DNDBeyond counts it as a zero instead of a 10. That means a dice roll of 00 and 0 would result in a “0” when the lowest number possible should be 01 and highest 100 (a 90 plus 10), as indicated by every D100 chart.
How does rolling a D100 work?
“Percentile dice, or d100, work a little differently. You generate a number between 1 and 100 by rolling two different ten-sided dice numbered from 0 to 9. One die (designated before you roll) gives the tens digit, and the other gives the ones digit. If you roll a 7 and a 1, for example, the number rolled is 71.
