Under some circumstances, if you throw a D8 and then a D12 at an enemy, thanks to the D8's greater pointiness you actually have to roll a D12 and D8 respectively to determine damage.

Die piercing damage scales inversely with the size of the die. d20? Basically round. Bludgeoning only. d4? The only weapon with a d20 damage roll

I bought my wife a beautiful set of metallic dices. Our table takes 1d20+3 damages everytime she rolls the D4…

Sounds like the next thing she needs is a lovely velvet lined rolling box :)
