Dodecahedron Dice Q-Workshop 12HIT05 – 12-sided gaming die, 19 g, for adults and children

Q-Workshop Dodecahedron Dice 12HIT05 is a 12-sided hit-location die designed for tabletop and role-playing games. Weighing approximately 19 g and measuring about 30 mm per face-to-face span, this d12 provides clear, non-textual silhouettes representing body locations to determine precise hit areas during combat or random events. The die is made from high-quality plastic intended for repeated rolling and table use and is suitable for adults and children, except those under 36 months due to small parts.

Advantages

The die uses engraved pictograms instead of text to make location results immediately readable and universally usable across different languages and game systems. Its larger size and durable material improve handling and visibility during play. The black-and-white finish enhances contrast, helping players and gamemasters quickly identify results. Lightweight at 19 g, the die strikes a balance between a solid feel and ease of rolling.

Suitable for

• Tabletop role-playing games that require hit location tables
• Combat encounters where precision of hit area matters
• GMs who want a simple, language-independent method to determine wounds, mutations or critical hits
• Gaming groups that prefer visual, silhouette-based results over numbered labels

Key specifications

• Shape: twelve-sided dodecahedron (d12)
• Material: durable molded plastic suitable for repeated rolling
• Weight: approximately 19 grams
• Approximate size: 30 mm across (face-to-face)
• Finish: high-contrast black and white with engraved silhouette icons
• Faces: twelve distinct hit-location silhouettes (head, neck, torso, right arm, left arm, right hand, left hand, underbelly, right leg, left leg, right foot, left foot)

How to use

Roll the d12 on a flat surface to determine the hit location indicated by the silhouette that lands face-up. Consult your game system’s hit-location rules or a custom table to translate the location into effects such as damage modifiers, limb impairments, or narrative consequences. Because the die uses pictograms, players can interpret results without referring to language-specific labels. For multi-hit attacks or area effects, roll the die separately for each affected target or follow your system’s group-resolution mechanics.

Usage recommendations

Keep the die on a flat, uncluttered surface to ensure clear rolls and avoid damage; store it in a dice bag or tray when not in use. Use the die as a modular tool — integrate it into existing hit-location tables or use it for improvisational foley like mutation placement or random encounter injuries.
