Divination dice are an item added randomly to religious (not titan) shrines located throughout the world, with several able to spawn at monasteries. They can be picked up and rolled to determine the will of the gods relevant to the dice, granting a variety of possible effects both positive or fun.
Dice come in several known varieties depending on the number of sides:
- D20 (twenty sided, known as "icosahedral")
- D12 (twelve sided, known as "dodecahedral")
- D8 ("eight sided")
- D6 ("six sided")
- D4 ("four sided")
The list of known dice effects:
- Creates a random artifact-quality weapon at the shrine the dice were from (citation needed)
- Creates a random artifact-quality piece of armor at the shrine the dice were from (citation needed)
- Upgrades each piece of the user's armor by one level (citation needed)
- Grants the user indefinite (citation needed) enhanced healing factor, capable of restoring lost limbs within hours/between area loads (citation needed)
- Grants the user a random friendly pet spawned nearby (current list of possibilities unknown, seems to prefer exotic creatures)
- Grants the user a week of good luck (unknown effect, assumed to be similar-but-opposite to the mummy's curse)
- Various messages that have no effect, giving ominous, foreboding, or fateful advice or statements
- Grants the user a week of bad luck (assumed to be similar/the same as a mummy's curse but temporary)
- Transforms the user into a random exotic/giant (citation needed) creature for one week
It is likely that dice with more sides have more extreme effects: dice with fewer sides cannot cause the stronger effects (shown in bold), both good or bad.
Warning: Using the dice more than twice in an uncertain period of time, known to be between 24 hours - 1 week, will anger the gods, cursing the ill-fated thrower in a similar way to toppling over a statue.
Bugs
The curse to transform the user into a beast seems to be treated as a normal syndrome, and thus can be instantly healed by simply unloading the cell (fast travelling, sleeping). However, the victim appears to suffer stat penalties afterwards (testing needed)
