Dungeons & Dragons' latest dice sets offer something unique for every class. Dice arethe heart of anyDnDcampaign, and collecting them has become a favorite secondary pastime for many a player. They’re (usually) cheap physical accessories to what’s often an expensive hobby. They also come in just about every color, shape, and size, from mini to massive, from resin to bone, from cube to cylinder to icosahedron, and every other variant you can imagine. Those who collect (or hoard) dice have earned the moniker “dice goblin” for their apparently insatiable greed.
And dice goblins will rejoice today withthe release of Adventure DIce, 15 class-specific dice sets in an officially licensed product line bySirius Dice, as announced by the officialDnDX (formerly Twitter) page. Each set matches with a particular class, and includes all the dice a character of that class will need “through Tier 2”(i.e., up to level 10). That means each set contains a different configuration to suit its particular class features.
Adventure dice are now available directly through the Sirius Dice website, or quite possibly at your local game store. Purchased directly from Sirius,they cost $24.99 USD each, regardless of how many dice are contained in them, except the Drizzt Do’Urden character-themed set, which only runs for $14.99.
How D&D’s New Adventure Dice Work
And Why You Might Need Them
Again,each Adventure Dice set is designed for characters of a particular class, and contains all the dice that class requires through level 10. Different classes necessitate different sets of dice, based on their weapon proficiencies and unique features. For example, the damage of a monk’s Unarmed Strike evolves from 1d6 to 1d10 as they climb the ranks from level 1 to 11, and they can make an extra attack from the very start. Bards, meanwhile, need a lot of d6s, d8s, and d10s in orderto accommodate their Bardic Inspiration rolls, while rogues need d6s for Sneak Attacks.

So, to that end, the monk Adventure Dice set contains extra d6s, d8s, and d10s to accommodate their ever-evolving multi-attacks. The bard set comes with three d6s, four d8s, and two d10s to accommodate all those Bardic rolls. Rogues get no fewer than six d6s.Every set comes with two d20sto accommodate basic skill checks and saving throws.
Some sets come in multiple colors - for example, the rogue set is available in purple and black, while the wizard set comes in pink and blue.
But that’s not all -each set is also intricately designed and colored to reflect particular features of the class they match. The monk dice are translucent, speckled with blue and gold, and one of the faces of the d6 bearsan image of an open hand. The bard’s opaque green dice are similarly adorned with lyres on certain faces. Druid dice come in a leafy green, sorcerer in a fiery orange, fighter in a blood red, rogue in a shadowy black, and so on and so forth.

These D&D Subclasses May Be Cut From The 2024 Dungeons Master’s Guide But They’d Make Great TV Villains
These D&D subclasses, after being cut from the 2024 Dungeons Master’s Guide, could still make great villains for a Dungeons & Dragons TV show.
Here’s the thing: you certainly could buy a generic seven-piece set that comes with one of every die shape. You’ll get what you need to play, sure, but especially as you level up, you’ll find yourself needing to roll certain dice twice - say, if you’re a monk about to perform a Flurry of Blows, or if you’re a rogue hitting a sneak attack with only one d6.Having doubles, even triples of some dice eventually becomes a necessity, as constant re-rolling holds up the game and makes calculations more difficult.
These class-specific dice sets are also excellent for beginners, who may not know exactly what configuration of dice they need. Or, if you’re the kind of player who keeps track of multiple characters at once, color-coded sets may make that easier. That makes the Adventure Dice sets versatileDungeons & Dragonscollectibles, with benefits for players of all skill levels.
