You can cheat with these dice by carving them with a knife in hand. Successfully carving them will make the dice combination come up as a 7 on the next roll, but damage the dice. This will change the condition modifier used in messaging, and how the dice appear when appraised. Further carving once the dice are 'cracked' will destroy them.
