Are you an avid dice hoarder like me who can’t get enough of cool-looking dice sets for Dungeons & Dragons? Do you wish you could do the same in Larian Studios’ Baldur’s Gate 3? Well, in ways, you can do this! In this D&D video game, anytime you make a skill check, you’ll roll a digital purple dice. But did you know you can actually change how it looks? Let me explain how to change your dice skin in Baldur’s Gate 3.
Baldur’s Gate 3: How to change the look of your dice
Depending on what version of Baldur’s Gate 3 you have, you may have some dice skins you don’t even know about! How you can change your dice skin in Baldur’s Gate 3 is right in the skill check screen.
When you’re about to make a skill check, and your dice pops up, look to the bottom left corner of your screen. There, you should see a button. Press that, and you’ll see what dice skins you own. But what are all the dice skin options?

As listed in our best mods for Baldur’s Gate 3, there are a few mods that will give you access to many new dice skins.
