Dice Packs - Frequently Asked Questions

Questions are being answered as we collect them from users.

Q: Are there any free Dice Packs?
A: Upon release of Fantasy Grounds Unity v4.3.0, which included Dice Packs, the Elemental Basics dice pack was included for all users for free after updating to the new version.

Q: Are dice purchased by the GM/DM and shared with players?
A: No. Each host or player buys their own dice. Dice bought by the DM are not shared with players. All players and the DM can have completely different dice packs.

Q: Do you need a Fantasy Grounds Unity Standard or Ultimate license or a subscription to purchase and/or use Dice Packs?
A: No. Everyone who uses Fantasy Grounds Unity can use Dice Packs, including Free/Demo users.

Q: Why don’t I see the new Dice Packs updating when I click Check For Updates? I checked for updates, and nothing happened.
A: Dice Packs are built into Fantasy Grounds Unity. When you purchase a Dice Pack, FGU checks your Fantasy Grounds account to see which packs were purchased and unlocks them for use without downloading anything new.

Q: I purchased the Dice Packs on Steam, but they aren’t showing up in Fantasy Grounds Unity. Why not?
A: Make sure you have the Steam account used to purchase the Dice Packs linked with your Fantasy Grounds account. Once linked, click Check For Updates in FGU.

Q: Do Dice Packs ever expire? Will I need to buy them again in a year or at any point in the future?
A: No. Dice Packs, much like modules, tokens, etc., do not expire. Once purchased, they are associated with your account for the life of that account.

Q: If the GM/DM hides dice rolls from players, will the player see the effects of the GM’s/DM’s dice packs?
A: No. The players will see what they would usually see when dice rolls are hidden; a shadow die.

Q: Can every player in a game see every other players' dice effects, even if they are all different?
A: Yes. Each player’s dice effects are replicated to all clients connected to the game session.

Q: Can a GM/DM override a user’s choice of dice and force players to use a specific Dice Pack?
A: No. Each player will use whichever Dice Pack they prefer or no special Dice Pack at all, if they prefer.

Q: Can you combine effects? i.e. add the Trails to the Force Field dice?
A: No. Not at present. Effects Dice are still in their infancy, so additional features such as this may be considered for future updates.

Q: Is there a way to change the size of the dice?
A: Yes. You can use the built-in Dice Scaling feature. If you need your dice or UI scaled larger or small than the Dice Scaling allows, you can also use the UI Scale feature.
