20-sided Dice - technical proposal

I really love the 20-sided slice - this is a great improvement for all the people who want to have old-style role playing, which is the thing the first Neverwinter was built upon and (in my opinion) the thing who makes this game so fascinating.
Many things in Cryptic NWN recall role playing (think about RESPEN dungeon, or lore box when you get into a new area) - this is amazing, and moves Neverwinter two levels above with respect to other MMOs. The 20-sided dice is the icing on the cake.
My proposal is to bring this 20 sided dice even more toward its original role, that is to make available "ability" rolls.
If using the dice you could also choose one "ability" to roll (such as Observe, Listen, Persuade, etc.) and even further, if this ability roll could be modified by Charisma or Wisdom value, this would be really amazing and would give the DICE much more actractivity.

Bug: The d20 rolls off to the right side every time, regardless of surface. It does seem to have collision (even on other players), which is great. But rolling off to the right when the character animation shows rolling in front of you has to be a bug.

(btw could a native english speaker enlighten me and explain why the devs say "die" in their post instead of dice)
As for the use of "die" - "die" is a singular noun for the plural noun "dice".
For example, when used as a noun:
Die = one
Dice = more than one
[ Support Center • Rules & Policies and Guidelines • ARC ToS • Guild Recruitment Guidelines | FR DM Since 1993 ]
One die.
Two dice.
Having said that, it's fairly common for people to say "one dice" even though it is technically incorrect.
Edit: beaten by Zeb...
Those people are not only wrong, they are horrible, and should be ashamed of themselves and also taken out back and flayed.
thx
Too bad this game doesnt focus on this stuff in the zen shop instead of other items. I like this item and am glad to see more of this type of thing.
SOLD!
What do you mean - doesn't do anything?
It let's you roll a d20 and displays the result for all to see.

Perhaps they'll come out with the "cup of dice" and let you choose which type
you want to roll. Can play D&D online. Hmm.
will be nice to pass the time near the luskan camp fire
This item is a great way to get your nerd on.
Next will be a Crown Royal bag to put your dice in .. from the Zen Market.
I'll rephrase it, doesn't do anything useful

what is more usefull another random +50 stat to make the content even easier, or actually be able to roll a d20 and display the result??
Fun, that's more useful. In fact it's the point of all.
Not many would spend 70k on a dice though
WTB Class Reroll please
and what use is that?
another random +50 is more useful than a die roll that does nothing but display a number above your head and doesn't affect an outcome.
now if it had an actual function, for example roll X for a chance to win extra loot from the next skill node, or roll Y to unlock an extra chest at the end of dungeons that contain decent RP items and/or coal wards, that WOULD be useful.
even I'd probably spend 70k on the chance of getting decent RP gear.
