I had someone argue that their cherished d100 gave a different probability than 2d10.
-
I imagine this was them knowing that 2d6 is different to 1d12 and just not quite understanding why that doesn't apply to two d10s used to roll a d100
-
Couldn't you substitute a D12 with 2 D6? Just roll the first dice remember the number and then roll the second and if the roll is even add 6? Shouldn't that work?
-
What you described would work, but it's not usually what people mean when they say "2d6". 2d6, or any number of dice in an XdY format, means rolling X number of Y-sided dice and adding the results together. The specific case of 2d6 vs 1d12 comes up a lot in D&D because there are some common weapons that use those two values for their damage rolls
-
Yeah, I prefer 12d1 anyway
-
12d1 is the way to go.

Yes you can. First result = 0, second = 1 to 9. You either roll two different color dice, or you roll one and then the other, but one is used for the tens place and the other for the ones.
0 and 0 means 100.
I think I might have DMed for you or your clone.

Back in my day we didn’t have d10s! Our d20s were marked 0-9 twice and we inked ‘em in different colours, black for 1-10 and red for 11-20, reading the 0 as 10 or 20, respectively. And we LIKED it!
