Dice Roller
Roll virtual dice for tabletop RPGs, board games, or any situation requiring random numbers. Support for all standard polyhedral dice from d4 to d100.
Dice Configuration
Rolling: 1d6
About Dice Rolling
Dice notation uses the format NdX where N is the number of dice and X is the number of sides. For example, 2d6 means rolling two six-sided dice.
Common dice types:
- d4 - Four-sided die (tetrahedron)
- d6 - Standard six-sided die (cube)
- d8 - Eight-sided die (octahedron)
- d10 - Ten-sided die (pentagonal trapezohedron)
- d12 - Twelve-sided die (dodecahedron)
- d20 - Twenty-sided die (icosahedron) - popular in RPGs
- d100 - Percentile die, often rolled as two d10s
How to Use the Dice Roller
Select Your Dice Type
Choose the type of die you want to roll from the available options: d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20, or d100 (percentile). Each die is commonly used in different tabletop RPGs and games.
Set the Number of Dice
Adjust how many dice you want to roll at once. For example, set it to 3 for "3d6" (three six-sided dice) or 2 for "2d20" (two twenty-sided dice). You can combine multiple dice types for complex rolls.
Roll the Dice
Click the "Roll" button to throw your virtual dice. Watch the dice animation and see each individual die result displayed clearly, along with the total sum of all dice rolled.
Review History and Statistics
Check your roll history to see previous results. The tool tracks your rolls and shows statistics like average rolls, highest/lowest results, helping you analyze probability over multiple sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of dice can I roll?
Our dice roller supports all standard polyhedral dice: d4 (4-sided), d6 (6-sided), d8 (8-sided), d10 (10-sided), d12 (12-sided), d20 (20-sided), and d100 (percentile). These are the dice commonly used in tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons.
Can I roll multiple dice at once?
Yes! You can roll multiple dice of the same type (e.g., 3d6 for three six-sided dice) and even add multiple dice types together (e.g., 2d6 + 1d8). The roller will show individual results and calculate the total.
What does dice notation like "2d6" mean?
Dice notation follows the format NdX, where N is the number of dice and X is the number of sides. So 2d6 means "roll two six-sided dice," 1d20 means "roll one twenty-sided die," and so on.
Are the dice rolls truly random?
Yes, our dice roller uses JavaScript's Math.random() function to generate pseudo-random numbers. Each face of the die has an equal probability of being rolled, just like physical dice.
Why is d20 so popular in tabletop games?
The d20 (twenty-sided die) is the primary die in many tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons. Its wide range (1-20) provides good granularity for determining success or failure of actions, and it creates exciting moments when rolling high or low.
