What are you adding?
-
that’s exactly what I said, also you’d still need to add 1 to make rolling 100 possible
Well, no, that’s not exactly what you said. And rolling with a percentile die means you do not need to add anything. A result of 00 and 0 is the 100. And your way makes rolling a 1 impossible.

“I strike at the bandit with my axe”
“Give me a to hit roll”
“Natural 20!”
“You cleave both targets in half, blood sprays everywhere!”
“Both targets?”

5 - As the goblin lays facedown in a pool of blood. You discover a bucket full of candy and a cracked plastic mask with the same expression of the goblin you just fought.

How do you get “1” like this?
I suppose you have to roll 10 to get to 100 = 0
But then what?
Then you switch to a system where you don’t add the 1, interpreting 00 as 100

6 - a note with a sandwich that reads “I can’t wait to spend more time with you and the grandkids, enjoy your last day!” Along with retirement papers.
Extra points if the slain party is a guard or other law enforcement official.

Nice. Let’s balance this out a bit at the other end:
98 - A scroll containing a detailed plan to burn down the nearest orphanage.
99 - Pockets full of napkins inscribed with insane anti-gnome racist gibberish.
100 - A magic communication stone that, if activated, creates a magic audio connection with the lead villain of the current story arc.

I think it’s so that it’s really low odds because you have lots of fights. Wouldn’t feel real if every third encounter had something like that.
I’d just turn it into a running joke that roughly 50 different bandits have the same picture of the same woman in a locket, and another 30 keep sending money to the same “mother”. Then I’ll make a cult where the phrase “For the light in my darkness” is some twisted mantra.

How to roll 100:
- take 10 sided die, roll once
- take that number and multiply by 10
- roll 10 sided die again
- add that to the number from #2
- add 1 (otherwise it would be 0-99, not 1-100)
Wouldn’t that give you 11-100? l The Lowest number on a dice is 1, and 1×10 gives you 10.
The formula would have to be
((d10-1)×10)+d10=x≥90⟹y=(y+1)⟹z>1(d2)
So you’d still have to flip a coin on reaching a result of 90+ in order to know if you add a +1 or not as well or else you can’t get 90 as a result either.
(This is assuming you have a d10 that’s 1-10 btw and not 0-9!)
-
Modify step 2 so you subtract 1 from the roll first, then multiply by 10. That way if you roll a 1, the 10’s digit becomes a 0.
Then you get 1 to 99

Anti-gnomery isn’t bad.

NP, my char has the psychopath trait.

If your group didn’t sign up for a gritty realistic setting do not hit them by a surprise like that. Guilt and depression are not emotions you should bring to a typical high fantasy table. Not every game needs to be edgy.

Our first use of the speak with dead spell revealed that the bandit had a cousin in Neverwinter. I made it my personal quest to find her and give her news of her cousin’s passing.

“thank fuck that asshole is dead”

You’re not too far off. But she said it nicer.

I’m sorry, if the bandits didn’t want to get killed, they shouldn’t have jumped adventurers. I’m sorry if they had a home life, but it’s not my fault my group defended itself.
