Caltrop
It’s hard to decide what hurts more when trod upon barefoot: a Lego brick or a dropped four-sided die. I think Lego has sharper edges than more rounded dice. I don’t own metal dice, so I can’t attest to their foot destroying power, but I imagine it’s not pleasant.
Yes, they are nasty, but Gamescience dice get a +1 masterwork bonus to damage due to quality and the sharp edges. Thankfully, Lou Zocchi had the good sense to cutoff the tips of his already lethal d4 caltrop die.
As for those expensive metal “Thorn” caltrops… weeellll… you don’t even get a death save!! O_O The only one who is going to read that die result your goddamn Coroner!!
