'''Fudge Dice''' or '''dFs''' are six-sided dice marked with two + signs, two - signs and two blank sides (basically a d3). They are used for [[FUDGE]] and thus [[FATE]] rpg games.  The bell-curve is pretty steep -- 2/3 of the time you're gonna roll -1, 0 or +1.  Maybe this is supposed to get random chance out of the rpg without actually taking our candy away.  The odds of rolling a "critical" of +4 is 1/81, or four times less likely than rolling a nat 20.

==How to Make Your Own==
[[Image:fudge_dice_homebrew.jpg|200px|thumb|right|When you want to be a dice snob, but can't afford to buy your own.]]

If you have to buy weird dice just to play a supposedly simple system, you have failed at life and should immediately swallow the Fudge dice in hopes of choking to death.

Take a d6 and a sharpie, draw a line on the 1 & 2 faces, an X on the 3 & 5 faces, and a square on the 4 & 6 faces (b).  There you go: a die with -,0,+ on it.  Now roll four of them to get a result from -4 to +4.

Or do it old school, with 1,2 = 1 ; 3,4 = 2 ; 5,6 = 3 and subtract 8 (that's 4[[d3]] - 8).  Be a man.

==d6-d6==

Some people are damn impatient and just roll a positive d6 and a negative d6, subtract one from the other, and treat -5 or +5 as 0.  Now rolling a critical +4 becomes a 5% chance, same as rolling a natural 20, just like God intended.  Similar to the [[Delta-6]] method.

''[[Feng Shui]]'', a game which predates both Fudge dice and the systems which use them, made use of this method, though counted -5 and +5 as possible results and had a "something unusual happens" rule for boxcars.
