    So the “D100” has 00-90 and goes up by tens and works in tandem with a D10 to fill in the single digits? That makes a lot of sense but I still want a disco ball sized die with 100 sides

      It’s either 2 D10s (one for each digit) or a single D100 but D10s are so common that two dice are usually the way to roll it. So yes there are D100 out there.

          Yes 00 = 100%, 01 = 1%, percentage and no 0%, you don’t roll same colours so you can call which die is which digit, or could roll one twice to make a percentage.

      The 00-90 is what’s called a percentile die. A d10 and a percentile die are commonly rolled together to generate numbers between 0 and 99 (where 00 is usually read as 100).

      But the true d100 disco balls exist.
