I know they have 100 sided dice. I know we usually do the 2 d10 approach. I was tempted to get one. but it seems like it's almost a ball and doesn't seem very effective. For anyone that has one, what are the advantages of using one? and Do you still use it over the 2 d10 approach? |

Advantages: novelty. That's about it. It's hard to keep it on the table when you roll it, and it's super-hard to read it, because you can't always tell which facet is the highest. It's a cute conversation piece but it's not really useful at all in play. |

The d100 is a golf ball. It never stops and it's very large, hence it fits badly into a pencil bag. However, it has a definitive coolness factor. I saw one with water and a bubble inside, making reading much easier, but it becomes very heavy, and a nightmare if it breaks. |

Yes, the d100 is a novelty item. It does not roll well, is difficult to read, but will always get picked up, examined and talked about by your fellow gamers. For what it's worth, I've moved from the standard diamond-shaped d10s to twenty-sided d10s. They're more difficult to find, but they combine novelty and utility. |

It rolls forever which stinks for use in actual play. |

I can't see any use for the d100 other than as a novelty item, such as the large d20s. Their design obviously lends them to extra-long rolls and mistaken interpretation. Also, I've yet to see need for this type of roll in 4th Ed. Of course, YMMV in other systems. |
