	~~aka "dF"~~		'''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.
