HA, funny that this comes up. DND Beyond doesn't have a d100, so I opened my ChatGPT sub and had it roll a d100 for me a few times so I could use my magic beans properly.

I use the percentile die for that.

Also an excellent method.

Roll two d10, once for each digit, and profit?

[–] Matty_r@programming.dev 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I guess you'd need 10 to represent 0, and if you got 2x 10 that would be 100?

Yup! Also one has to mind the order in which one rolls the dice. Since 10 and 5 could be either 05 or 50. As a bonus, if you roll them in order of "tens" to "ones", getting 10 on the first dice has added suspense since the latter dice determines if it is going to count as a low roll of 0X (by rolling 1-9 on the next dice X) or if it is going to be a max roll of 100 (by rolling another 10).

But why use Chatgpt for that? Why not a duck duck go action? I just don't understand why we're asking a LLM whose goal is consistency, not randomness, to do random
