Polyhedral dice

Polyhedral Dice derive their name from latin meaning "many-sided" as opposed to a standard Six-sided die.

Polyhedral dice are available in many different variations. Some dice manufacturers sell them in a "set" of standard dice. A typical "set" of polyhedral dice would include:


 * 4 sided
 * 6 sided
 * 8 sided
 * 10 sided
 * 12 sided
 * 20 sided

These dice are considered common and standard in gaming and used extensively in PnP roleplaying games. Typically a player would maintain a collection of dice and sometimes keep them in a dice bag.

In addition to the "standard" set of dice, dice with less common numeric ranges were sold.

Examples of these include:
 * 30 sided
 * 100 sided
