Distracting Dice
Sharpened and Exploding Throwing Dice
A must have for any gambler, Sharpened and Exploding Throwing Dice are a key to a quick escape. Sharpened dice had been around for awhile, but since they weren't very distracting, it was only a matter of time before someone came up with a more effective get-away tool. A necessity if you often lose your horse in a game of poker.

After the Exploding Throwing Dice appeared, a much more powerful version came out. The Dice Grenade, while bigger that a normal die, was not used as a distraction as much as it was used for combat. (Gamblers really enjoyed the weapon.) Though it could be used as a distraction for supernatural creatures and other Mega Damage foes, it was not often they would be gambling.
