Seems like the main point of it is just to be pretty. Good enough reason for me.

Is there a known reason that Chessex Precision d14s cost 2.5x more than d16. A thrifty consumer would purchase a d16 and ignore rolls above 14.
I am actually still curious on the answer to this question. And I have now 6 d16s and only 1 d14.

I'd love to have a d5 and d3, for simplicity's sake. But what do people use the d14 and d16 for?

Well, the uses for d16s are endless and so obvious I will dispense of naming them here, and meanwhile the d14 uses are plentiful, I have not decided I want to risk the one I have.

The truly thrifty consumer would roll a d20 and ignore rolls above a 14.
The truly thrifty but ultimately not very practical consumer would roll a d00 and ignore rolls above a 14.
And the less thrifty but ultimately very very very insane consumer who doesn't value generating random numbers in a reasonable amount of time, would roll d00000000000000 (yes, that's right, 14 d10s) and ignore rolls above a 14!
That means that the last product in that section recently went permanently out-of-stock. A robot will eventually locate the empty page and take it down, but I gave it a kick so it's gone now.
