Number Layout on D10 and D100 is Non-Standard #84

Currently the D10 and D100 are laid out as (face + opposing face = number of faces on dice - 1). i.e. 2 is opposite 7, 4 is opposite 5, 9 is opposite 0, etc.

Expected behavior is that they are laid out as (face + opposing face = number of faces on dice + 1) i.e. 2 is opposite 9, 4 is opposite 7, 0 is opposite 1, etc

All other dice in the generator follow the (number of faces on dice + 1) format as expected

So I just did some sanity checks and looked at a bunch of different brands of dice and they all sum to 9/90. I would guess that that's what is standard apart from all the other dice because when used together, according to D&D rules, it is assumed that 0 and 00 count as zero (with the exception of 100).

I can see the desire to have all your dice be a +1 ratio though. Perhaps a checkbox to turn that kind of formatting on for a d10 would be helpful.
