In D100 systems that’s usually good. You typically want to roll under a certain number to pass.
For example, if i have a 70% chance of sucess, i want to roll a 70 or under on a D100.
It’s actually a much better way to visualize your odds than with a D20.
Shit are D100’s real?
It’s usually two d10s, but they do make 100-sided dice. They’re not symmetric like the other dice though. The closest you can get to that is d120.
Yes, but it’s not what you’re picturing probably. They count up by 10 from 00-90 and are usually rolled with a d10 so that you can get all the numbers between 1-100.
So the “D100” has 00-90 and goes up by tens and works in tandem with a D10 to fill in the single digits? That makes a lot of sense but I still want a disco ball sized die with 100 sides
The 00-90 is what’s called a percentile die. A d10 and a percentile die are commonly rolled together to generate numbers between 0 and 99 (where 00 is usually read as 100).
But the true d100 disco balls exist.
It’s either 2 D10s (one for each digit) or a single D100 but D10s are so common that two dice are usually the way to roll it. So yes there are D100 out there.
Just to clarify, that’s usually 2 d10s. One with the decimals (10,20…90) like you said, and another with the units. (1,2…9).
Also, zeroes in both dice are considered 100.
On another note, there are actually single dice that go from 1 to 100, but they’re more of a novelty thing and don’t roll super well.
Now I’m covered in grease!
i play a roll under system, i see this as an absolute win

Panel 1 - You roll a nat 20!
Panel 2 - it’s only a success
