Cleric of Polyhedra?

[Oli Ironbar]

I had a character a while back who studied combat as a profession, but I just got to thinking, the fact that the Platonic solids constitute most of the dice and societies are capable of doing their own data collection for thousands of years, it seems like there should be a cult that worships d4’s to d20’s as the ultimate arbiters of fate.

Does this already exist?

I'm sure there is, but it's a pretty crazy cult and they only worship d17's.

I’ll make the link pretty later, but I’m pretty sure this is the d20 they roll in the Dark Tapestry

there are the mysterious Roman dodecahedrons... could have been used as phophetic candle holder but wax is a well known metal polish & preservative...

There are are some sets of platonic solids but rare.

I used this in my rework of Sacred Geometry (keeping digital roots) in homebrew forum.

Or they too slayed trolls to pass the time!

Is the Voynich manuscript just the greatest RPG prop of all time?

I only made it two sentences into non-3D polyhedron part of Wikipedia before my brain collapsed on itself. Definitely the madness domain.

you can give a physical solid most any number of sides above 1, equal area planar/flat faces taking up most of the surface area with a body centered center of gravity/gyration and not having to round corners is more the issue.
see icosahedral symmetry

One die producer (Crystal Caste) made dice based off a long cylinder.

Then there's the Gömböc.
