Finer than 5% granularity on a 20-sided die

Not saying use this always (it’s cumbersome af that the target number jumps up and down) but can sometimes (rarely, admittedly) be useful when you’re looking to port over a specific probability from some other system and want to leverage their playtesting. (If you have reason to suspect that a particular rule is not well playtested, then of course you don’t need to approximate their probability either. Just use what would make sense in your game instead.)
