“As long as you’re consistent” i love that

The instinctual "nice" is beautiful to see
It has been engraved in our heads

[kalvincarld]

When I explain it, I just say
"00-0 is 100. 00-1 is 1. 10-0 is 10. 10-1 is 11. You can figure out the rest."

[AltairTheGamer]

Okay, NOW I understand this!
Thanks! It's more clear now, with visualization.

Back in 2e D&D if you were a martial class and had an 18 strength you got to roll percentile for exceptional strength with the most powerful being 18/00. This was so powerful that my group called it "eighteen uh-oh" strength.

Not having played with percentile dice, I would have assumed 00 + 0 would have been a zero, thank you for the clarifications

[ianadair]

Thank you for another great video I can send to those people that are struggling with this for any reason!

[DMG]

The percentile has tripped me up in my explanations for new players. Thanks for something I can just send to them!

[Aureolelegends]

Also, most tables have it written as 00 instead of 100 anyways, so just adding the numbers up still allows you to read from the table without issue.

While I'm surprised people didn't know this, thanks for making a very clear and easy video for them. As long as you're consistent and fair, that's all that matters.

Basically first 10 sided die rolled multiply by 10 then roll a second 10 sided and add the rolls together.

Example first roll of 5 and second of 9. 5 × 10 = 50. 50 × 9. Result 59 (50, 9), (5, 9)
First roll of 0 is 0 and second roll of 9. 0 + 9. Result 9 (0, 9), (00,9)

Two rolls of 0 is 100 (0, 0) (00, 0)

I understand being confused by percentile dice. Most people, even D&D users, will never use them. For the vast majority of people the 00 dice is just ignored or used as a backup d10. The fact 0 means 10 when individually rolled and then it means 0 when rolled with the majority of percentile dice until it’s paired with 00 which them makes it 100 can trip people up. I think this is one of those things DMs and Call of Cthulhu players forget that outside those situations, most people never use them.

[BenjamminFranklin.]

I gotta be honest. This is so much better. Thank you. I was honestly confused by the last video. Maybe it’s because I don’t even own a pair of dice. Seeing a visual representation of 1-100 helps.

[wisecatstudioz]

"as long as you're consistent" is such a good way to say it, I had a player once who would change the way he rolled it every time, later I realized he'd check the numbers then decide what the roll meant

[juleksz.]

Finaly some explanation.
In ur previous video you made it as hard to grasp the concept as possible, so I'm thankful you explained it here. Even if i will never play a game that uses d100%.

[Maninawig]

Sam: tells us something crazy like werewolves being the good guys.

Audience: accepts it.

Sam: explains how dice works.

Audience: insanity issues.

[aech]

Ok that cleared it up. This was how I originally understood it, but after that last video I suddenly became confused that I was doing it wrong, but now I know I’m good. Thanks for the clarification

[thomasb]

For anyone who is still confused. Just use a golfball d100. But you'll need to give it a bit more space to roll aince otherwise you manipulate it too much.

[GuyGrn]

I’m the psycho DM that subtracts the single digit number:
(100-0=100)
(50-9=41)

[ghostjack]

Honestly this cleared up so much for my group and I. Thank you
