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.

Condition Modifier Appraisal Appearance

scuffed The iroko dice are a little scuffed and dirty, but still usable.

worn The iroko dice have hairline fractures showing in the iroko and a couple of the white-painted pips have fallen off.
