Gotcha.

So you don't necessarily have to specify whether it will be used as a block or as armor before hand, it can be used for either then?

You can get blank dice yourself.  I found mine at a teacher's supply store of all things (they use them to teach math I think).

a few minutes with a sharp piece of metal and a sharpee (gouge the + and - and then coat with said pen) and you have some perfectly serviceable, if not rough looking, dice.

That's a good idea.  I doubt I could've carved those symbols in myself though.

So if the wizard had a Lore of 4...

Why would they choose an Armor: 2 ability on an enchanted item over a Block: 4 ability if it's only for one exchange?

If a wizard has an enchanted item that gives them armor but is only 1 use per session, does that mean it only works against 1 attack or does it last for the whole scene?

They should be.  I think the base is just a Chessex blank ivory die with the symbols etched in.

Very cool and a great idea on what to put on them.

I thought about doing things that were mentioned in the books like the pentacle, a skull or other iconic things from the series, but in the end, using the arcane symbols I could find in the DRPG books seemed like the best choice.

DFRPG / Custom Dresden Dice

Thought I'd share this with everyone.  Earlier this month, after much deliberation and editing, I ordered 6 sets of custom fate dice for the Dresden RPG (4 unique sets, 2 duplicates).  Each of the sets of dice will be used by different players in DRPG game I am running soonish.

They just arrived today and I'm very happy with how they turned out.  The company I used was www.customdice.com.  They were very good about walking me through the process and helping me get them the right stuff so the end product came out as envisioned.

All of the symbols on the dice come from the DRPG books.  Each die has 2 positive colored symbols to represent +1, 2 negative colored symbols to represent -1 and 2 blank sides to represent +0.

Again, I can't say it enough how happy I am with the resulting product, and I strongly encourage anyone looking for custom dice to talk to these guys.  They were a little pricey ($4.50 per die, so about $18 for a set of 4 plus shipping)... though every vendor I looked at was roughly the same price... and you need to have a minimum order of $40, but they are no different in quality than any standard gaming die.  But I think they are well worth the money.  I should also add that of all the vendors I looked at, customdice.com was the most flexible with design options.

FYI, the set with orange on it isn't smaller than the others, I just messed up a bit when taking the pictures of them.  They are all standard d6 size.

I should also add that the designs are etched into the dice, not just painted on.
