In Baldur’s Gate 3, rolling dice is a prevalent aspect that players encounter regularly during combat and dialogues. While it adds excitement, the repetitive nature of the same dice visuals can become tedious, leading players to seek alternatives.
Fortunately, changing your dice skin in BG3 is a simple process, though finding the perfect design may require some effort. Players can also explore additional options, including modded skins not included in the base game. Here’s a detailed guide on how to modify your dice skin in Baldur’s Gate 3.
How to Change Your Dice Design in BG3
To swap out your dice skin, players must wait for an active roll to appear. This event occurs during situations like Persuasion checks or skill feats within conversations. However, players cannot change their dice during passive rolls, such as searching for traps or completing Dexterity checks.
When an active roll appears, follow these steps to change your dice skin:
- When the dice roll appears on screen, find the bottom left corner and click on the dice icon with a cog in the center.
- From the menu that opens, choose a dice skin from the available options.
- Double-click the preferred dice skin, which will replace the current one.
Once you select a new dice skin, you can exit the dice design menu and continue playing with it. However, you must wait for another active roll to change to a different skin.
Available Dice Skins in BG3
Currently, there are four main dice skins available in BG3. While the selection is somewhat limited, it includes several unique options. Some skins require specific actions to unlock them. Here’s the breakdown of available skins:
| Dice Skin | How to Unlock |
|---|---|
| Behir Blue | Link your Larian account to the platform you’re using. |
| Dragonflame Red | Available with the Digital Deluxe or Collector’s Edition of BG3. |
| Illithid Purple | Exclusive to the Collector’s Edition of BG3. |
| Scuffed Metal | This is the default skin available to all players. |
While some may find the lack of a green dice skin disappointing, especially since it’s a popular choice, players can access various custom designs through community-created mods, expanding their options beyond the default offerings.
How to Access More Dice Skins in BG3
For those looking to further personalize their gameplay, additional dice skins can be acquired through the Mod Manager available at game startup. Players can browse and select from a range of unique and intricately designed dice skins created by the community.
To install a new mod, simply download your chosen dice skin, then start BG3 from your platform or a new save file. You’ll receive a prompt to confirm the use of installed mods, during which you can select the newly added dice skins. Similar to switching skins during active rolls, players will need an active ability check to make the switch to their new skin.
If you choose to uninstall BG3, remember that you may need to reinstall the mods to continue using them in your game. It’s wise to stay updated with any official patches from Larian Studios, as they could potentially impact mod functionality.
