Okay. Who wants to tell him?
I've answered this one too many times. It's someone else's turn.

no, the devs do not plan to hand out dice bags. if you want to roll dice, use the console commands.
Whatever action one takes IG, con be explained by something logical.

*tosses a Kobold treat*
The reason is that if there are dice bags that broadcast numbers, it might give players the impression that they can use those numbers to force others to RP a certain way based on rolls and checks. As Katze suggested, the console can accomplish the same goal, but doesn't set down anything definitive, and therefore requires mutual consent.

you can use console command to roll dice, but it's not visible by others... so it would be on an honors system. then just add in the ability/ranks to your rolls...
But I believe dice systems have been discussed before and nothing positive came from the idea from what I recall.
