I have a pair of dice with Unicorns on them for when players forget their dice (Which somebody almost inevitably always does.)

I have all kinds of tools to use in case people forgot. Most of the time they make fun of the borrower's masculinity.

I remember 3 years ago when we had a player at one of the venues that I played at who had dice that wouldn't roll under a 7. After going therough the Organized Play materials I had found a paragraph that said something to the affect that if dice are not provided by the venue, your opponent may request to inspect or roll your dice at any time during the match. I printed off the page and brought it to the venue the following week so that I could use his dice when we played. He acted shocked that I would call him on it, and when the judge came over I handed him the page from Organized Play. The judge acknowledged the suggested rules for tournament play and told him to give up his dice. I think we both hit every roll.

I understand that this may have never been in the player's guide, but I did find it online under the tournament rules years ago.

i still disagree about letting people borrow their opponents dice since wizkids documents say the dice are a required for play which is showed in the following paragraph from the 2010 rulebook...

and in this paragraph from the comprehensive tournament rules

Now if a player is suspected of cheating (loaded dice) its the judges responsibility to roll the dice of the player or have the player roll their dice and prove that they r not loaded.... the opponent has no right to touch the players dice unless the player allows them to which is out of the goodness of their heart....

If the judge says, "Let your opponent use your dice," then you need to comply or be removed from the game.

The judge is ALWAYS the final authority at a tournament, the same way a ref or umpire is at any other organized tournament setting. You may not like their call, but it is their call to make.

But then its also like being a teacher. A school employee has the right to search you based on reasonable suspicion, not probable cause. If one asks to search your bag or locker and you say no, then you are suspiciously hiding something and they have the right to search.

If I ask to inspect/roll your dice, and you deny the request, then you are hiding something and its time for the judge to take action. I am always happy to use someone else's dice or let them use mine. I will use the dice provided, or even offer to trade during a match if mine are running hot, because I know that even though I just rolled 5 consecutive crit hits, that I will also fail to roll over a 5 in 20 consecutive rolls with the same dice. My efforts are better spent worring about other factors of the game.

Its just dice, relax.

That logic would SOOOOO not hold up in a court of law.

I can imagine a situation where dice could be weighted in such a way that they wouldn't readily appear to be rigged over the course of a few rolls.

I can also imagine a situation where legitimate dice appear to be loaded over the course of a few rolls.

Giving your opponent the right to use your dice seems the most elegant way to solve the problem. The weirdo that wants to use them just because is certainly a corner case. In the time I've been playing, I've never even seen the rule invoked, but it's nice to have.

The closest its come is that someone commented that my custom Orange Lantern dice were suspiciously hot and he wondered whether the symbol was throwing off the weight. I replied that he was more than entitled to use them as well. he didn't take me up on it, but I think even the offer helped dispel the notion that anything was amiss.

ever see those people at bingo halls that have the stupid 'good luck trolls' ?
that's how i feel about my dice. superstitious. I am actually a very easygoing, accommodating and courteous player (sharing barrier tokens, figures, feats, etc). but MY dice are MY dice.
don't really care if people think im a douche for doing this, it's the way i am. i am generous, but i have limits.
note: i have let other players use some of my other dice, but never the ones i am currently playing with.

If the opponent wants to use your dice and you don't want him touching yours, just offer to roll for him.

I'm okay with this. Until it gets to a point where, as the guy running the event, I am put in the situation where fairness/cheating is brought up. At that point I *have* to enforce a policy that ensures that fair dice rolling is taking place. Because at that point in time, a negative post is going to go up as a result of that event. The post is either going to be "the judge of the event let my opponent continue to use his dice that I KNOW were loaded" or the post is going to be "I can't believe the judge forced me to share my dice/roll for my opponent/use a different set of dice"

Between the two, I know which one I can sleep with more easily.

I just want it made clear (as it appears I wasn't) that my whole issue was with the phrase that saying, "They're mine" is not sufficent enough a reason to not lend out your dice. I simply gave a real instance where it actually is. I have no problem with judges compelling players to use house dice or only certain types of dice. I do take umbridge with a judge telling me that I must let someone use my property if I don't want them to for whatever my reason may be. Even in the case of a mind-controlled figure, my opponent never has to touch my property, because I am quite capable of moving the figure into a square that he designates he wants it to go.

In real life, I'm not a douche. I share, I lend, I couldn't care less. That said, I'm not a communist either. What is mine is not yours and I don't care for people dictating to me what I "will do" with my own property.

Hey there ya go.

during turnament, i give two dices per table. opponents use only this dice, simple, esay and better way for everyone.

I don't wash my hands after the bathroom and other personal activities.

This emoticon represents jest.

Remember that bit about justifiable reasons to not share dice?...I think we found a winner.
