Statistically it comes up 5% of the time you use a hero point, so yeah, about as often as rolling a nat 20.

    Yep! But there's typing that out, and then there's experiencing it first hand, and the latter can be surprising. ;)

    People typically don't use fair dice. There's often a much higher than 1/20 chance of getting a particular result

    Dice are polished to remove molding marks, which also rounds off edges and makes faces different sizes

    But they are polished equally on each side, right?

    They often are polished the way rocks are, tumbled with abrasives, which randomly wears them down

    Few expensive dice will be polished carefully

    I trust internet dice rollers over commodity dice, d6 is pretty much the only one easy to get fair versions made for the gambling industry

    I read a lot and own game science dice. Game science described the process in their marketing to explain how their dice were different
