Introduction


DnD Dice Roller is an online virtual dice roller for Dungeons & Dragons or any tabletop game where dice are required.

While most tabletop games use standard 6-sided dice, there are some games which require a range of specially-sided dice, such as 4-sided, 8-sided or even 100-sided dice!

A standard form for abbreviating these different types of dice is by using the notation 'dX' where 'd' refers to a die(singular) or dice(plural), and 'X' represents the number of sides. A 6-sided die would be referred to as d6 or a 10-sided die as d10. Furthermore, where a number of dice are required it is notated as 'Xd', where 'X' is the number of dice to roll. So for example, a D&D player who was rolling a strength score for a new character would need to roll 3d6, or three(3) 6-sided dice.

DnD Dice Roller allows all types of dice rolls required by D&D and most other tabletop games, as per the table below.


dXShapeComment

d2

As you can see from the image, two sides which are curved with flattened ends form the die. A true d2 is rarely seen because any two-faced object could be used to simulate the die roll such as a coin toss.

d3

A d3 is a cylinder shape with rounded ends and three flat faces spaced around its circumference. Although many tabletop games require a d3 roll, a true d3 is rarely used. Instead a d6 is rolled and the result halved.

d4

A basic tetrahedron, which is a simple four-sided shape with equally sized faces. Unlike the d2 and d3, this is a standard die in any DnD dice set.

d6

The classic and most typical cube-shaped die. The d6 was historically used for various gambling and chance games around the world, but is now also used by most tabletop games.

d8

An octahedron. Looks like two four-sided pyramids pressed together at the base. A standard die for any DnD set.

d10

A decahedron. Similar in appearance to the d8, but in this case two pentagonal pyramids with bases pressed together. Another die no DnD set can go without.

d12

A dodecahedron. This die is starting to look less like a die and more like a ball. Twelve pentagonal faces combine to form this multi-sided die. The d12 is generally used less often than other dice in a typical DnD session.

d20

An icosahedron, or twenty-sided shape. If you thought the d12 looked sphere-like, this one is a step closer. Made up of twenty triangular-shaped faces. The iconic d20 is rolled throughout a typical DnD game session.

d100

The mighty hectohedron. Not really a die nor considered standard in a DnD set, the 'Zocchihedron' is a sphere with a hundred flattened faces. Most DnD players roll 2d10 instead, where the two dice become the 1's and 10's places respectively, with two 10's (often represented as '00') being 100.

There can be many different dice types, numbers and combations required to play a game. Part of the fun of playing is having a personal collection of dice. But sometimes there are roll requirements that become difficult and time-consuming when performed with physical dice. DnD Dice Roller can help when the dice rolls get too large or to save time during preparation and gameplay.
