Beadle & Grimm’s Character Class & Epic Class Dice Sets - Review

Beadle & Grimm’s Character Class Dice Sets and Epic Class Dice Sets are the kind of gear that makes you smile the moment you sit down at the table. Both lines start from the same simple idea: your dice should feel like they belong to your character. Not generic, not one-set-fits-all, but tools that match the way your hero actually plays in Dungeons & Dragons or any fantasy TTRPG.

The Character Class Dice Sets are the most straightforward way into that feeling. Each set comes in a sleek tarot-style metal tin with class specific artwork on the front, so before you even open it, the theme is already doing its work. Inside you get a curated mix of polyhedral dice that is tuned to your role. Rogues and paladins get extra d6s for Sneak Attack and Divine Smite, wizards and sorcerers are spoiled with extra d4s for magic missiles and low level spells, barbarians and fighters get those satisfying d12s for big weapon hits.

Most sets use two coordinated colors, which sounds like a small touch but is very practical in play. One color can be your attack rolls, the other your damage dice. Or one for spells and one for weapon attacks. It keeps the table tidy, speeds up your turn and makes your character feel a little more defined every time you pick up the dice.

The Epic Class Dice Sets take that same philosophy and turn everything up a notch. Instead of a small tin, you get a larger, sturdy, EVA lined box that doubles as a dice tray. The lid carries bold, embossed class art, and inside you will find a generous spread of resin dice in matching color schemes. There are multiple d20s for advantage and inspiration, plenty of d6s, d8s and d10s for damage and abilities, and enough variety to carry you through long, combat heavy campaigns without ever feeling short on dice.

An Epic Class set feels less like "a dice set" and more like a complete kit for your character. It is the kind of thing you bring when you know this hero is going to be around for a while and you want the gear on the table to show it.

At the table the two product lines complement each other really well. The Character Class Dice Sets are perfect as premium daily drivers: easy to pack, quick to set up, clear in use and ideal for players who want something a step above standard polyhedral sets without going all in. The Epic Class Dice Sets are made for those moments where you want something special. A long running campaign that just hit a big milestone, a freshly rolled character you are excited about, or a DM who deserves something more than just another random pile of shiny math rocks.

Both lines are a natural fit for D&D 5E, but they work just as well for other fantasy RPGs. They strengthen the class fantasy, make your character feel more tangible and give every roll a bit more weight. As gifts they shine too: a Character Class set is a great upgrade for a newer player, while an Epic Class set feels like a proper celebration piece. Think of finishing your first big campaign, starting a new story arc, or marking a birthday for the forever GM at your table.
