Die is not used by Larian Studios that I have been able to find. Die is primarily a thing still in American grammar, but not so much elsewhere. IMO, dice would be most appropriate for this wiki based on the references in the game. - Addela's 2 cents

Typo

There's a typo in the Gameplay section: "Die roll" should be "Dice roll"

(This not not actually correct, die is the correct singular word: https://www.grammarly.com/blog/dice-die/#:~:text=What%20is%20the%20meaning%20of%20die/dice)

Companion link image

This is more of a suggestion than a problem, but I'd propose not using Jaheira's picture for the companion link, as she can be somewhat of a surprise the new players. If pressed I'd propose either Wyll, Shadowheart, Gale or Astarion instead.
