Hello,

Is there a way to create a 3d model of a thirty-sided die and get Fantasy Grounds to use that? I'm looking around the documentation, and it's not clear to me whether that is possible or not.

Thanks!

Pat

The dice are hard coded into the software and cannot be changed, reskinned otherwise modified AFAIK.

(It is possible to get rolls like d2, d3 and d5 by using a d6 or d10 though).

As Leonal mentioned, you can create a custom die using an existing model and applying calculations to the results (i.e. d2, d3, d5).

For d30, the best option would be to have a custom script that generated a random number using LUA.

You could try a (D6/3-1)*10+D10. so if the D6 is 1 or 2, use the D10, on a 3 or 4 add 10, on a 5 or 6 add 20, then add in the D10 (where the "0" item should be considered a 10.)

It's simpler than it sounds!

(This is the way we used to get a D20 in the original release of D&D... the icosahedral die was numbered 0-9 twice, so you would roll a D6, adding 10 to the D20 if your rolled a 4, 5, or 6. Ahhh, those were the days; )
