Dnd is built with the 1 to 20 number range in mind, but ons is it guaranteed miss and 20 is a guaranteed to hit.

Will you make more sense to roll a D22? With a face reading zero for the guaranteed hit and a face reading 21 as the guaranteed hit?
>>
No. Because some things, like skills, just count the natural 20 as 20+modifiers.
>>
Why would that make more sense?

Rolled 4 - 1 (1d23 - 1)

I feel as though OP is having difficulty with something.

Will you make more sense to roll a D24? With a face reading negative one for the guaranteed hit and a face reading 22 as the guaranteed hit?

At least you can actually buy a d24

Short answer: No.
Long answer: D20 is good because it has a nice round 5% probability of each side occuring. Easy to work out.

But only 18 of those matter in really to you're modifier. The 1 always misses and the 20 always hits.

Why would you want to use dice that aren't platonic solids? Are you some kind of heathen?

It's not always only most of the time (skill checks for example don't do that). That aside so what if only 18 increments matter. Its still divisions of 5% which is nice and convenient.

How the fuck do I even read this thing?

>>44106983
in that picture the die is balanced on one of its points when it lies flat there is a level side facing up.
>>
>>44108500
>>44106983
The pictured die reads '4'. It is not balanced on a point.
>>
>>44099628
I prefer rolling a D24. That way -1 is a guaranteed miss and 24 is a guaranteed hit. You have a 0 to 23 range.

Its better somehow.

Best d20 alternative coming through
