7 mystical shapes link your decisions to your character's fate. As the dice fall from your hand, your character boldly advances. Roll with the Best!

Dungeons and Dragons made these seven dice an unstoppable team. Use of a "D&D dice" set is common to most tabletop role playing games today.

You might be wondering:

Which 7 dice make a set?

To start playing, you only need one of each: the D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, and D20, but standard 7-dice sets also include a second D10 which is used for percentile rolls. Gamers often prefer to have multiples of some die in order to roll pools of dice, such as 3D6 in one roll instead of 3 individual rolls.

​But what are their common uses?

In general, the D4, D6, D8, D10 and D12 are used for weapons damage, attacks, spells and healing amounts. The D20 is used most often, to see if your attempted action succeeds.

In miniature wargaming, players enact simulated battles using scale models called miniature models, which can be anywhere from 2mm to 54mm in height, to represent warriors, vehicles, artillery, buildings, and terrain. These models are colloquially referred to as miniatures or minis.

Miniature models are commonly made of metal, plastic, or paper. They are used to augment the visual aspects of a game and track position, facing, and line of sight of characters. Miniatures are typically painted and can be artfully sculpted, making them collectible in their own right. Pre-painted plastic figures, such as Clix miniatures produced by WizKids, have also become popular. The hobby of painting, collecting, and playing with miniatures originated with toy soldiers, though the latter were generally sold pre-painted.

A character sheet is a record of a player character in a role-playing game, including whatever details, notes, game statistics, and background information a player would need during a play session. Character sheets can be found in use in both traditional and action role-playing games. Almost all roleplaying games make use of character sheets in some fashion; even "rules-light" systems and freeform role-playing games record character details in some manner.
