On the dice thing (Left to right) its the D20, Dsomething and then a d% ? Couldnt it be abbreviated as D00 or D100? can someone explain this to a new perosn on the wiki? Miser biggity boo ball (talk) 13:28, 31 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

The D100 is an expensive and impractical die, so few people use them D% is a term of art in RPGs that refers to rolling two d10's, one for the tens place and the other for ones place. Indrian (talk) 13:45, 31 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hello Miser biggity boo ball! If you read on from there, there is a brief explanation how it is used already present. But I have now also linked to Percentile dice (d%), where there is a longer explanation. Daranios (talk) 13:58, 31 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
