This dice defines your luck in life, and is rolled by your god of choice at every important event: roll a (0) you fail miserably, (6) you succeed briliantly, (4) you pass, barely.

Would you rather have:
A: a 000666 dice?
B: a 111555 dice?
C: a 222444 dice?
D: a 333333 dice?

It's important that you know: the singular of "dice" is "die".

A. the 000666 dice.

Failure is capped at rock bottom, whereas the possibilities for success are infinite, so the brilliant success should outweight the miserable failure.

I assume this is the dice for people like Trump. Fail miserably and get convicted in your court case, then get elected president of the united states anyway.

(4) you pass, barely

That implies that 1, 2, and 3 are all failing (perhaps with different degrees of embarrassment). If all failure is equivalent in practice, you might as well maximize the non-failing outcomes and go with A.

(perhaps with different degrees of embarrassment)

Exactly. Roll a (0) you're paralysed for life, roll a (3) you break an ankle, roll a (6) you perfectly execute the salto on your first try.

That seems pretty arbitrary

0-2 would indicate negative, 0 being extremely bad and life changing and 2 pretty bad (worse than broken bones)

3 which should be neutral is broken bones

4-6 indicates success, but 4 seems to be just barely passing (e.g. landing it but with a fumble and falling) which doesnt seem to balance out a broken bone for 3 or something worse at 2

Would you say it's random?
