TheEvilDog:
You might be able to find something on Etsy.
Torlek:
So six letters per face of a d20? Yeah, that's going to be a special order thing.
Thrillho:
Not six letters per side.
Six letters, only on the 20th side. The natural 20? Is my lingo wrong here? That's a natural 20?
And I have looked on Etsy and found up to three letters.
I shall ask elsewhere.
Pilchard123:
Close enough that you'd be understood. It's not the natural 20 side (or at least I've not heard it called that), but if you roll and the side with 20 comes up then you've rolled a natural 20. I'd probably say "the 20 side" or "the side with 20 on it".
Generally, to say one has "rolled [a/an] X" means that you add the number on the die to any modifiers you have and the result is X. If you "roll 15", then you might have got a 10 on the die and have +5 from other sources (maybe your character or equipment stats, maybe assistance from other characters, or a useful environmental) or you might have rolled 17 and have to subtract 2 (again from character or equipment stats or hindrance from other characters to the environment). Your modified result might end up above or below 20, but that doesn't really matter. I've heard this called "modified X", but I don't think that's a common name.
To say you "rolled a natural X" or "nat-X" means that you rolled a die and X was the number that the die showed, ignoring any positive or negative modifiers.
Some games treat nat-1 or nat-20 different to any other rolls. For example, D&D 5e only bothers with natural 1 or 20 if you're attacking (where you always hit and double your damage on a natural 20 and always miss on a natural 1) or rolling to see if you die at 0HP (you have to roll above modified 10 in a best-of-five to survive; nat-20 gets you back on your feet straight away, but rolling nat-1 counts as two losses). If you're trying to do anything else - searching for the entrance to the dragon's cave, sneaking past the dragon, seducing the dragon - a natural 20 just means your modified result is one more than if you'd rolled a natural 19 and represents the best result you could achieve in that moment, even if you don't succeed.
Gyrre:
So......our PCs in the Saturday game just learned that the gods are actually A.I.s and that something's corrupting some of them.
[Also, apparently what's now known as Infernal was once a language called "English". :laugh:]
