Background

Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) is a fantasy tabletop role-playing game that uses dice to embody the randomness of exploration and battle. This digital tool aims to enhance your tabletop experience by providing comprehensive and customizable dice rolling functions.

Dice Types

• d4 (4-sided die)
  

  The pyramid-shaped d4 is commonly used for small weapon damage (daggers, darts), minor healing spells, and Magic Missile damage. Each face shows numbers 1-4, and the result is read from the bottom edge or top vertex.

• d6 (6-sided die)
  

  The classic cube-shaped die used for most weapon damage (shortswords, shortbows), character ability scores (roll 4d6, drop lowest), and many spell effects like Fireball. This is the most familiar die shape to most people.

• d8 (8-sided die)
  

  The octahedral d8 is used for medium weapon damage (longswords, warhammers), higher-level healing spells, and hit dice for classes like rogues and clerics. Each triangular face displays numbers 1-8.

• d10 (10-sided die)
  

  The pentagonal trapezohedron shows numbers 0-9 (with 0 representing 10). Used for heavy weapon damage (heavy crossbows, glaives), ranger and fighter hit dice, and as part of percentile rolls when paired with another d10.

• d12 (12-sided die)
  

  The dodecahedron is the largest standard damage die, used for massive weapons (greataxes), barbarian hit dice, and powerful spell effects. Each pentagonal face shows numbers 1-12.

• d20 (20-sided die)
  

  The iconic icosahedron is the heart of D&D. Used for all attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws. Rolling a natural 20 is a critical success, while a natural 1 is a critical failure. This die determines most of your character's successes and failures.

• d100 (Percentage die)
  

  Actually two d10s rolled together (one for tens, one for ones), the d100 generates numbers 1-100. Used for percentage-based effects, random encounter tables, treasure generation, and Wild Magic surge effects. Some specialized d100s exist as golf-ball sized dice with 100 faces.
