+ | In [[fortress mode]], dice can be created in a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]] from [[wood]] or [[stone]]. It is not currently possible to specify the number of sides to make on dice, nor do descriptions on dice mention the number of sides that they have. Divination currently does not occur in fortress mode, making dice only usable as trading goods. | ||

− | + | It is likely that dice with more sides have more extreme effects: dice with fewer sides than 12{{verify}} cannot cause the stronger effects (shown in bold), both good or bad. Each die can only have one very positive effect in its list of possibilities; this is dependent on the specific die, not the deity represented. | |
− | Warning: | + | Warning: Using the same dice under the same deity's blessing more than twice in 24 hours - 1 week, will anger the gods, cursing the ill-fated thrower in a similar way to toppling over a statue. However, the god(s) may choose to "ignore your hubris", resulting in no punishment. Any creature cursed by the gods in such a way will be unable to benefit from any deity's dice again in the future. |
