I prefer not to share the same dice during a game for practical reasons. Unlike most of the mathematical savants who populate ASL circles, I'm prone to forget whether I've scored a hull hit, or maintained (Conditional) ROF, among other things.
That said, I've been tempted--if only for a moment--to use the wonky dice and rolling idiosyncrasies of occasional opponents "against" them, by sharing their dice during a tourney scenario. So far, sanity has prevailed. Even if my opponent was consciously using unbalanced dice and/or sketchy rolling methods, I try to think of it as an undeclared balance provision in my opponent's favour. In the event that I do win the match, victory is that much sweeter.
