I just started my first ever DnD campaign like a month ago, but is it not normal to have a 100-sided die for Nat 1 rolls? Because that's what they have been using.
I thought it was a normal thing because it makes sense and they have a book for it.
I've never used a d100 die but I've not played in like 5 years, maybe things have change. You had the d10 dices for those right? It was even in the rule book.
Yeah, I'm a complete beginner so I just thought it was the norm. Its almost a spectacle moment of pulling it out, then dropping the heavy weight. Way more exciting than the 2 d10s we rolled for percentages.
It's been 30-35 years since I played, and I played only the original version and AD&D second edition, so, no, not from what I remember. Our DM just had one because he was a collector, and had it for an oddity.
As I said, for percentages, we'd just roll two D10s. I had a lot of those, as I was the Werewolf: the Apocalypse storyteller on Mondays (Storyteller system only uses D10s; it's simple but highly versatile and easier to understand/work with than TSR's. And no, I wasn't impressed about the way certain Tribes got Flanderized by about Revised/3rd ed of that game, and I hated Forsaken by the second page, didn't buy it.)
I haven't a clue what Wizards of the Coast did to AD&D beyond hearing that they simplified things a lot.
Right right, I suppose its just the group I joined had one to embrace the spectacle and meme of the Nat 1 and rolling it made that event much more impactful than two generic D10s.
Easier way than rolling a d100 is using 2 d10s. Assign one as the tens place and the other as the ones. Some even come marked with an extra 0 on every face so you don't even need two separate colors.
D100 faces are just so small it can be hard to determine what was rolled.
