The night before posting this I ran a session as the GM. The rolls I was getting in both the encounter page and the character sheets were ridiculous. Way to many nat 1s and nat 20s were popping up. I ended up going back and counted the D20 rolls for this post:
Number of D20 rolls using the Clockwork Dice Set: 48
Number of natural 20s: 7
Number of natural 1s: 9
Total number of natural 1s and 20s combined: 16
Percentage of D20 rolls that resulted in a natural 1 or 20: 33.333%
Ever since I switched to the clockwork dice set I noticed a significant uptick in rolls that result in a natural 1, 2, 3, 4, 17, 18, 19, or 20. I haven't done the math for those numbers yet, but a good example was a session from 2 nights ago where I did 5 Wisdom saving throws from the monsters sheet on the encounter page. The highest roll was a natural 4. The others were a 1, a pair of 2s, and a 3. Only a handful of rolls have been been a natural 5 through 16. Needless to say this has a massive negative effect on the quality of play. Has anyone else had this happen to them?
Some nights are just like that. Your results aren't indicating anything that would allude to genuine error.

All dice work the same.
