So, there is an option in the new DMG to use polyhedral dice instead of a flat Proficiency bonus. So, for example, you’d roll a D4 rather than a +2 bonus, a D6 for +3 and so on upto a D12 instead of +6. It was mooted before in play test I think, but was obviously not popular enough. I do see advantages though:
1) It makes use of all the polyhedral dice in regular play - rather than just for damage rolls.
2) The roll adds more unexpected results, and provides the opportunity for more outstanding results.
Has anybody made use of these rolls in actual play? What do you think?
