How many dice do I need? (3rd ed)

Postby Magic_Octopus » Sun Nov 30, 2014 8:50 am

I just acquired the 3rd base books, and was wondering: how many dice should I have for the game? How high do the dice steps get in the first 5 circles, for example?

I encourage my players to always roll another die when the get a bonus roll. (not to pick the die back up and roll it again)

I would suggest to have 3-5 of each type of die. (d6; d8; d10; d12)

It depends on what you're after. At minimum I would recommend that you have at least 2 of each type -- with an extra d6 (for karma). As you get into higher steps, you start adding additional d12s, so having a couple extra of those is worth it as well.

If -- like Baravakar -- you don't want players rerolling the exploded dice, you may need a couple more extras for each type.
