I know WHAT it is, but I dont know why it exists, what use it has, or where it may have come from. All sides are identical, its translucent green. The pips are scalloped, not painted on, and are otherwise unremarkable. Help me out here, its definitely my favorite d6, but I am struggling to figure out a purpose for a +5 dice.

…I mean, aside from that I need a +5 weapon, clearly.

    Magic tricks, for example.

    Apparently they’re called Forcing Dice; obviously they sell different ones but the concept is the same.

    Obviously these dice will not stand close scrutiny so they are most effective when used sparingly, substituted for a regular die at a critical moment.

    Very useful to magicians who need to force a specific number as part of a trick, or as part of a humorous routine.
