DM Tip: Less Dice Can Be More Fun...

Here are some examples:
You have a fighter that does 1d8. It doesn’t matter if that is with an ax, sword, or bow. They get their strength bonus for the ax and sword and dex bonus for the bow. This means the fighter only needs 2d20s and 2d8 to play.
The Wizard? He rolls d6s for the “attack” spell(s) damage. Want to track spell slots? Give the wizard a set amount of six-sided dice and have them put the dice in a bag or jar after they roll them. Want to track different spells? Give each spell its own color d6s. When they run out of d6s, they have run out of magic. With this system, the wizard only needs 2d20s and a hand full of d6s.
As the DM, you can manage all the complicated stuff and let the kids focus on their favorite parts of the game.
Are You A Dice Dragon?
Okay, I’ll admit it, I’m a dice dragon. No, you can’t see my dice hoard… Well not yet anyway. I’m working on a special dice bag project. If you are a lover of all things polyhedral and want to support DMingDad, buy some dice or a dice bag from Amazon using our affiliate links below.
