    How to roll 100:

    1. take 10 sided die, roll once
    2. take that number and multiply by 10
    3. roll 10 sided die again
    4. add that to the number from #2
    5. add 1 (otherwise it would be 0-99, not 1-100)

          Well, no, that’s not exactly what you said. And rolling with a percentile die means you do not need to add anything. A result of 00 and 0 is the 100. And your way makes rolling a 1 impossible.

            that is a different way of doing it I didn’t think about but my method still works

            to roll 1:
            1st, 0 x 10 = 0
            2nd, 0+0 = 0
            add 1, 0 + 1 = 1

            to roll 100:
            1st, 9 x 10 = 90
            2nd, 90 + 9 = 99
            add 1, 99 + 1 = 100

            that’s the exact same except you count 0 AS 100 instead of adding 1

      Wouldn’t that give you 11-100? l The Lowest number on a dice is 1, and 1×10 gives you 10.

      The formula would have to be

      ((d10-1)×10)+d10=x≥90⟹y=(y+1)⟹z>1(d2)

      So you’d still have to flip a coin on reaching a result of 90+ in order to know if you add a +1 or not as well or else you can’t get 90 as a result either.

      (This is assuming you have a d10 that’s 1-10 btw and not 0-9!)

        there’s a 0 on the die

        to roll 1:
        1st, 0 x 10 = 0
        2nd, 0+0 = 0
        add 1, 0 + 1 = 1

        to roll 100:
        1st, 9 x 10 = 90
        2nd, 90 + 9 = 99
        add 1, 99 + 1 = 100
