Mix and Match

Okay, there are several tradeoffs to consider when picking a die system.

• Speed: how long does it take to figure out what you need to roll plus how long it takes you to read the results.
• Combinability: how readily can you mix and match different values? Does adding a third rating into the mix throw off the expected results by a lot or a little?
• Reasonableness: does it require some wacky combination of unusual dice like 3d30 or 10d12? Do you have to leave them all out on the table or can you roll them one at a time?
• Thresholds: do the results clump at particular values? This can be good or bad, depending on what you're looking for.
