D10 Dice Knowledge Base
# What is a D10 dice?
D10 dice is also called 10-sided dice. The shape of D10 is a pentagonal trihedron, and all 10 faces are kite-shaped, so the chance of hitting the dice number on each face is equal. The 10-sided dice are randomly engraved with numbers 0-9, where "0" represents the number 10. Just roll a D10 to randomly generate numbers 1-10, roll 2 D10 to randomly generate results 1-100, and roll 10 D10 dice to produce richer results.

Although Dungeons & Dragons uses the famous D20 dice system, the D10 dice also plays an important role in the game! It not only plays an important role in specific skill checks and damage calculations, but also brings more strategic options to players. Let's take a look at the major uses of D10 dice in DND:

- Magic damage value: The effects of some magic items are determined by d10 when used, such as the "Wand of Wonder" or "Orb of Chaos", which sometimes cause laughter, explosions, or transformations.
- Spell damage value: Some powerful spells use multiple d10s, for example:
- Fire Bolt: Causes 2d10, 3d10, etc. at high levels.
- Disintegrate: Causes 10d6 + 40 (although d6 is used as the main method, the additional damage effect is sometimes brought into d10).
- Steel Wind Strike: Deals 6d10 Strength damage to multiple targets.
- Hit Dice: Classes such as fighters, paladins, and rangers roll 1d10 to increase their hit points when they level up, plus a CON modifier.
- Skill Check: In certain scenarios, D10 is used to challenge skills and abilities, such as stealing or dodging.
- Percent Check (d100 usage): A D10 dice is combined with another D% dice (D% dice represents tens, D10 dice represents ones) to simulate a percentage check from 1-100. Often used for treasure randomness, potion effects, or other random events.
