Roll dice
Perform a simple dice roll
There are two ways of picking dice for rolling:
- Use the increment & decrement buttons next to each die type:
- Select the number of dice directly:
Selecting the number of dice to roll can be done by tapping the dropdowns above each dice type or by tapping the dice icons. Tapping the icons will increment the number of corresponding dice by one.
The six most popular dice types are supported: d4, d6, d8, d10, d12 and d20. You can use multiple types in a single dice roll.
In order to perform a dice roll press the 'ROLL' button, as shown bellow.
Once the dice stop rolling you'll be presented with the outcome. Clicking the 'info' button next to the result will show a detailed breakdown for each dice.
Add a modifier to your dice roll
You can apply a modifier to your dice roll. This modifier will be added to the sum of the dice values. Setting the modifier can be done by either using the increment or decrement buttons or by selecting a value from the dropdown.

Use dice roll presets
There are 3 pre-defined dice rolls that might come in helpful:
- Roll d20 with advantage
- Roll d20 with disadvantage
- Roll percentile dice
These presets can be accessed by clicking the 'Dice presets' button, as shown bellow:
Roll a d20 with advantage
Picking this option will roll two d20 dice and pick the largest value of the two.
Roll a d20 with disadvantage
Picking this option will roll two d20 dice and pick the lowest value of the two.
Roll percentile dice
Picking this option will roll two d10 dice and read them as a percentage between 0% and 99%. For example, if you've rolled a 4 and a 7, the result would be 47%. The order of the dice is automatically chosen by the simulation.
Custom dice roll presets
Create a new custom dice roll preset
You can also define custom presets for commonly used dice rolls. This can be done by clicking the 'New preset' button inside the 'Dice presets' dialog.
You can specify a title for the custom preset and pick the dice and an optional modifier.
Roll, edit or delete a custom dice roll preset
Once you've added a custom preset, you'll be able to roll the dice, edit the preset or remove it. These presets are saved between browser sessions so you'll have access to them on subsequent website visits.
