In PF2e, you get Hero Points which allow you to reroll checks. We use a house rule that if you use a Hero Point and roll the same number on the die, you must use that number (no more rerolls) however you don't spend your Hero Point.
It comes up surprisingly often.
Statistically it comes up 5% of the time you use a hero point, so yeah, about as often as rolling a nat 20.
People typically don't use fair dice. There's often a much higher than 1/20 chance of getting a particular result
Dice are polished to remove molding marks, which also rounds off edges and makes faces different sizes
Yep! But there's typing that out, and then there's experiencing it first hand, and the latter can be surprising. ;)
Sounds like salience bias.
