Wil Wheaton is notorious for consistently rolling badly - so much so that there can be no explanation for it other than some sort of curse. This video shows that curse in action.

Wil Wheaton is not alone. I have a friend with the same issue. We largely resolved it for her in the following way. We got a nice narrow wooden pencil box with a clear front. We bought a set of dice WHICH SHE NEVER TOUCHED. We put them in the pencil box and permanently sealed it. Now she just shakes the box and reads the appropriate die type without ever touching them.

@@declancampbell1277 I don't think there ever was an accusation. It's simply a fact that sometimes when people buy dice that the dice are just not balanced properly. There are tests that can showcase that sometimes a consistently low rolling dice weren't being used for cheating but were just made poorly in the mass production of dice. It makes perfect sense to switch dice in the middle of a game where one rolls low. And since Matt traded the dice and took Will's, if balancing was an issue it would actually make the game easier for everyone because now the DM would be rolling low. I've done that as a DM and I've traded dice as well as a player. In the case of Will Wheaton it turned out that it wasn't the dice and that variable was eliminated by Matt trading the d20.

For him to roll high, he would need a sphere with the number 20 embedded in it a deep bowl such that the sphere doesn’t roll out, and the sphere and bowl don’t crack. The same applies with low rolls but the sphere has an embedded 1. Then you would need 98 more spheres to cover 1-100. Finally, Chuggaaconroy needs to hold the bag contains said accurate spheres so it does not get lost, but also never interact with ProtonJon before he hands the bag to Wil Wheaton at the house where they are playing the game, and have another lucky person take back the 100 spheres without coming into contact with an unlucky person when the game ends, but not before they test the table, the bowl, the couches, the house, the community, and the weather where the game with Wil Wheaton is taking place. The bag also has to be rated high because 100 spheres could rip the bag. Then Wil Wheaton will be able to roll more predictably.

I did something similar for the first two “Slayers take”. I recorded all of will’s rolls and I rolled several control dice. The control dice had averages between 9-11, which is expected for d20s which should have an average of 10.5. Will’s rolls averaged a 7, which biased HIGH because some of those include modifiers that I couldn’t figure out.

I created a god of misfortune as a twin of tymora (or whatever god of luck I happen to use) named for Mr Wheaton. If anyone happens to roll two 20s in a row for the next 24 hours lady luck is with them and they can instead of rolling choose to automatically crit on any 3 roll, once per turn in combat. If they roll two 1s then for the next 24 hours they are in the presence of Wheaton and the DM chooses 3 rolls to auto fail. Rarely used in combat.

It is more impressive that the curse can transfer a little. If I remember the fight correctly, he had an ability to command others to attack during his turn. Probably an attempt to get around the dice curse. He ordered Keyleth to attack and then she rolled low on every attack he ordered her to do. I don't think she landed a single attack that was ordered by Thorbir.
