What the Dice Roller does

Whether you are playing a board game, running a role-playing session or teaching probability, a dice roller needs to be fair and to understand the notation players actually use. This one rolls any standard die from d4 to d100 and reads full dice notation: 2d6+3, 4d6kh3 to keep the highest three, 2d20kh1 for advantage, exploding dice and Fate dice. It shows every die, strikes through dropped ones, reports the range and average, and charts the exact odds of each total.

How to roll dice online

  1. On “Pick dice”, choose the die type, how many dice to roll and an optional modifier, then press Roll.
  2. For anything more complex, switch to “Dice notation” and type it, such as 2d6+3 or 4d6kh3. Presets cover advantage, disadvantage, ability scores and more.
  3. Read the result: the total, each die, dropped dice struck through, and the range and average for the roll.
  4. For ordinary rolls of several dice, read the chart to see how likely each total is. The dark bar is the one you rolled.
  5. Earlier rolls are listed under Recent rolls.

The Dice Roller runs entirely in your browser — nothing you enter is uploaded, stored, or logged.

When to use it

Role-playing games

Roll attack and damage dice, ability scores (4d6 drop lowest), advantage and disadvantage and percentile checks without hunting for physical dice.

Board and classroom games

Roll a d6 for Monopoly or Ludo, or use a d10 or d12 for classroom activities, from any device with a browser.

Learning probability

Roll 2d6 many times and compare with the chart: seven is six times as likely as two or twelve, which is why it dominates many board games.

Good to know

  • The middle totals of several dice are far more likely than the extremes: sum dice follow a bell-shaped curve.
  • 2d20kh1 (advantage) raises a d20 roll's success chance by up to 25 percentage points, most for targets near 11.
  • In exploding notation (1d6!) a maximum roll adds another die, so there is no upper limit.
  • Modifiers apply once per roll, not to each die.
  • You can roll up to 200 dice at once; results stay readable up to about 40.

Guides that use this tool

Frequently asked questions

What does 4d6kh3 mean?

Roll four six-sided dice and keep the highest three. It is the classic way to generate a D&D ability score, because dropping the lowest die nudges the average up.

How does advantage work?

Roll two d20 and take the higher (2d20kh1). Disadvantage takes the lower (2d20kl1). Advantage raises the chance of hitting a target number by up to about 25 percentage points, most when the target is near 11.

Are the dice fair?

Yes. Each die is an unbiased random integer from your device's cryptographic generator, produced without the small bias that comes from the common shortcut of using modulo.

How likely is each total with two six-sided dice?

There are 36 combinations: 7 comes up 6 times in 36 (16.7%), 6 and 8 five times each (13.9%), down to 2 and 12 once each (2.8%). Any other pair of dice follows the same pattern.

What is a d% or percentile die?

A roll from 1 to 100, historically made with two ten-sided dice. Type d% or d100.

What are Fate or Fudge dice?

Dice with faces of minus, blank and plus (−1, 0, +1), used by the Fate role-playing system. Four of them (4dF) give a bell-shaped result from −4 to +4.
