RollenspielWürfelsatz

Rollenspiel Würfelsatz refers to the set of dice commonly used in tabletop role-playing games. These sets typically consist of seven polyhedral dice, each with a different number of sides. The standard set includes a four-sided die (d4), a six-sided die (d6), an eight-sided die (d8), a ten-sided die (d10), a percentile die (d%), a twelve-sided die (d12), and a twenty-sided die (d20). The d10 is often used in conjunction with another d10, with one representing the tens digit, to generate numbers between 1 and 100 for the percentile die.

These dice are used to determine the outcome of actions within a game. When a player character attempts an action that has a chance of failure, such as attacking an enemy, casting a spell, or persuading an NPC, they will typically roll one or more dice. The result of the roll is then compared to a target number or a statistic to determine success or failure. The variety of dice sizes allows for different probabilities and ranges of results, adding depth and complexity to game mechanics. For instance, a d20 is often used for critical actions due to its wider range of possible outcomes.

The term "Würfelsatz" is German for "dice set." In the context of role-playing games, these specific sets have become ubiquitous due to their widespread adoption in popular games like Dungeons & Dragons. Players often own multiple sets in various colors and materials. The fundamental purpose of the Rollenspiel Würfelsatz is to introduce an element of chance and randomness, ensuring that no two game sessions are exactly alike.
