Along with the charms I also have some fun little stickers if that’s more your speed 😊

Percy is either completely insane or the calmest guy you have ever and will ever meet and most of the time there is no telling which one you’re going to get on a given day.

I want to take a look at Percy de Rolo's skill set in the most mathematical but silliest way possible, by crunching the numbers of the over 2000 dice rolls made for this character over Campaign 1.

Sure we know he's a good shot and talented engineer, but what about everything else? Using the raw data compiled by CritRoleStats, separating out the natural values and types of results for Percy a few fun things came out. [some explanation under the cut]

Starting with the most rare skills used: Percy only made single rolls for Animal Handling and Performance. They had extremely different results. The Animal Handling roll was so bad he got bit by the wolf Galdric in Ep 45 (rolled a 7). The Performance was assisting Pike in bringing a boy back to life after the Kill Box fight in Ep 52 (rolled a 19).

The next set of skills only showed up a few times. Medicine and Sleight of Hand both 2 times, Nature and Survival both 4 times. Of these only his Sleight of Hand is dismal with and average roll of 7 with a Nat 1 in there. The other skills in this group are all pretty well off; Survival has an average of 13 and Medicine a 13.5. Hilariously "indoor kid" Percy's second highest averaged skill for the whole campaign is Nature with 16.5 reflecting both a Nat 20 and 19 roll.

Now we get in to skills that come around more often in the game. Arcana, Deception, Intimidation, and Religion. Each show up between 7 to 11 times and they are all either Intelligence or Charisma based skills. Intimidation averages to 12.67, Arcana to 12.25, Deception to 12, and Religion to 11.38. While all the averages for these are more clustered the swing between low and high rolls reveal more. Take Deception where of the roles nearly a third are 20s or 19s balanced by 2s and 3s. There's a lot more deep hit-or-miss in this set.

I'm going to split these more common skills into vs. matches. History vs. Persuasion and Acrobatics vs. Athletics. All 4 of these skills were rolled 19 to 25 times. History averaging at 12.28 and Persuasion at 12.5 match up fairly similarly in the value and spread of rolls. While Acrobatics, a Dexterity skill, and Athletics, a Strength skill, are similar the comparison is interesting. Percy's most notable base skill is has always been Dexterity with a score of 22, while Strength is his 'dump stat' at 12. However the natural rolls tell a very different story! Acrobatics averages at 11.63, there's 2 Nat 1s in there, and he rolls 6 or below more than 31% of the time. Where as Athletics averages pretty high at 14.2, he never rolls under a 6, and rolls 16 or better 40% of the time.

Finally we get to Percy's 3 most used skills in the game, +1 that should have been in the previous section but pairs better with a skill in this batch. Investigation, Perception, and Stealth which were collectively rolled over 300 times; and Insight only rolled 20 times but a core mechanic in Critical Role Campaigns to this day. Stealth is the most straight forward averaging in at 11.3 and with common enough advantage on Stealth in the party this is fairly expected value. Perception is the most used skill used for our guy at over 130 rolls it averages 10.84; while the 10 or lower rolls do out number the 11 or above, the Nat 20s more than compensate to bring it back just slightly above the statistical average. At last we get to Investigation and Insight, collectively rolled 100 times with known values. You would think Percy might have some of his natural dice luck here over that many rolls ... but no. The average for Investigation comes in at 9.48 and Insight at 8.53. Even with nearly the double the expected number of Nat 20s nothing could save him from rolling 10 or under 63% of the time.

The dice do tell a story.

It's just not always the one you expect.

Some explanation for clarity.

I used only the actual dice roll values for comparison sake. Including the modifiers skews things toward skills with training, I'm much more curious in the "natural" chance of a dice roll adding to a characters story. The expected value D20 rolls over time is 10.5 so skills that are rolled more often tend to average out near that number.

Settled on the dice colour scheme for my Selûne cleric

[imogenisgod]

I got dice !!! I love them sooo much- currently playing rollies with myself because I’m bored and waiting till I have to get ready for work. While doing this I’ve since realized as pretty as Fearnes dice are they are kind of hard for me to read- which is incredibly on brand for Ashley. So I think they totally hit the nail on the head even if this is a personal me problem. I really love the flowers in her dice tho but my dm has banned me from using them till we can do an in person game because the camera can’t read the numbers clearly which is VALID

Jesters dice are a lighter pink than I thought they would be but OH HELL THEY ARE SO SPARKLY AND BEAUTIFUL AND LOVELY!! I’m really excited to use them for my upcoming game.

Vexs dice are really also on brand for her. I love the paw print between her arrows for the 20. I know this has all been probably said before but I wanna say I love them all.

Anyways! My shelf is ridiculously filled with cr dice bags stacked on top of each other- pray for my future

I really want to learn how to make dice at some point but I’ve since learned how toxic resin is to work with WHICH IM SO GLAD I LEARNED BECAUSE ?!?! anyways- again- stay safe out there

These are such pretty D20's, all based on characters from Critical Role campaigns

Feel like it could be clear who my favourite actor is 😅

Do I need the Vox Machina D20 set? No.

Am I going to get it anyways? Yes.

[keyleth-clay]

Happy Birthday to me, and eternal nat 20's to my sister for the best presents!

She also got me the Vox Machina d20 set. Whenever I get a new set of dice, I do a test roll right away to see how they do, and -

IMA MONSTAAAAHHH - 8 Piece Set

Well, you are all kinds of fucked up all the time, and that's why we love you. We're all all kinds of fucked up, and that's why we all are together

Vox Machina is in a casino. and they're getting a list of the games available to play and how they work. They already tried lizard-racing, which involved Matt rolling for the performance of each individual lizard, and he's already listed two other games of chance, each of which presumably also functions as a minigame.

I'd ask why Matt Mercer does this to himself, but by this point, I'm pretty sure he'd wither away and die from lack of enrichment if he didn't get to flesh out his setting in a truly ridiculous level of detail.

I made Perc’ildan dice.

[crypticroyals]

Found a pic on Tumblr and thought it was funny and wanted to give it a try

Technically for me it's less a "type" in the sense of crushes but more of "type" in the sense of gender envy 🤣😭
