Stone Dice
I dunno, it just makes sense to be able to carve stone dice.

Re: Stone Dice
The only problem with dice is, how can someone carve a dice where all sides are rolled equally? Even during medieval times the King's of European countries couldn't get a dice that rolled completely equally.
I did it cuz I hate you.

Re: Stone Dice
But equally how can a man with no engineering experience build a fully functional car? It's all a bit of suspension of disbelief that's pretty common in Cantr. We can already make wooden dice, why not stone ones?

Re: Stone Dice
That's hardly relevant to the discussion, since dice already exist, and this problem would apply to them as well.

Re: Stone Dice
That was kind of my point, although I digressed.

Stone isn't as easy to carve as wood for one. Maybe a ivory die.

Re: Stone Dice
Ivory die already exists.
There is no rule that says I can't post as much I want. I asked my lawyer.

I am also guessing that during medieval times, people weren't manufacturing cars and vans, nor were they curing their wounds by eating onions. I am also assuming they could hit people more than once a day....*shrugs*
My point is that Cantr in no way mirrors 'reality' and therefore the idea of stone dice would be a good one. To appease the 'realists' though, I would suggest making them take longer to make than the other varieties.

Re: Stone Dice
As for the tools, they should require a chisel and a hammer at least.
