    For instance, 4d6−L means a roll of 4 six-sided dice, dropping the lowest result. This application skews the probability curve towards the higher numbers, as a result a roll of 3 can only occur when all four dice come up 1 (probability ⁠ 1 / 1,296 ⁠), while a roll of 18 results if any three dice are 6 (probability ⁠ 21 / 1,296 ...

    Four-faced Daldøs dice. A third form of d4s are long dice shaped like rectangular prisms, as used in the Scandinavian game daldøs.
