4. The Element of Luck

Both a pro and a con, leaving fate to a set of dice can feel incredibly exhilarating when you hit, but also demoralizing when you get a bad roll. But regardless of what you get, it creates a fun environment with friends where you all cheer each other on to hit that rare D20.
