How to roll dice online

A dice roller gives you the outcome of one or more dice with any number of faces. It is what you need when the dice are in the other room, when you need a d20 and only own a d6, or when you want a roll that is provably unbiased.

The rolls are drawn from your browser's cryptographically secure random number generator, with rejection sampling so every face is exactly equally likely. That makes it fairer than a physical die, whose drilled pips make it slightly heavier on one side.

  • Set the number of sides, from 2 for a coin-like die up to 100.
  • Set how many dice to roll at once, up to 20.
  • Roll, and read both the individual results and the total.
  • Apply any modifier yourself, since dice notation such as 3d6+2 is not parsed.
  • Remember that each roll is independent, so a run of high results does not make a low one more likely next time.

Roll a d20, d6, or anything up to d100

The sides field covers the whole polyhedral set in one control: 4 for a d4, 6 for a board game die, 20 for the d20 that most tabletop systems live on, and 100 for percentile rolls without pairing two d10s. Between the standard shapes, any count from 2 to 100 works, so a d3 or a d13 is just a number you type.

Because every individual die is listed alongside the sum, rules that care about the dice themselves still work: read the highest of two d20s for advantage, drop the lowest of four d6s for a stat roll, or add your modifier to the printed total. The roller gives you the raw dice; the rule stays yours to apply.

Fair by construction, not by manufacture

Each result is drawn from crypto.getRandomValues, the browser's cryptographically secure generator, with rejection sampling so every face is exactly equally likely. A physical die cannot match that: drilled pips make the six face measurably lighter than the one, which is why casino dice have flush, filled spots.

The rolls are generated on your device and never transmitted, so nothing about a roll is logged or visible to anyone else, and the roller works offline once the page has loaded. There is no account, no cost, and no cap on how many times you can roll.

Tips

Getting a better result out of Dice Roller

Specific settings and thresholds, not general advice.

  • This is fairer than a real die. Physical dice are measurably biased, because the pips are drilled out and the material removed makes the six face lighter than the one, which tilts the odds toward six. A rejection-sampled draw from a cryptographic generator has no such asymmetry.
  • Rolling 3d6 is not the same as rolling 1d18. The sum of several dice forms a bell curve: with three six-sided dice, 10 and 11 each come up about 12.5% of the time while a 3 or an 18 each occur once in 216 rolls. That distribution is precisely why tabletop systems roll multiple dice.
  • Each roll is independent, and no result is ever due. After five sixes in a row, the chance of a sixth is still exactly one in six. The belief that the odds must correct themselves is the gambler's fallacy, and it has cost people a lot of money.
  • Streaks are normal and short sequences look nothing like the smooth distribution you expect. Roll a die 60 times and it is entirely ordinary to see one face four times running. Real randomness is clumpy, and human intuition consistently mistakes clumpiness for bias.
  • The tool accepts anything from 2 to 100 sides, so it covers the full polyhedral set, and it shows every individual roll alongside the total, which is what you need when a rule cares about the individual dice rather than their sum.
Limits

What Dice Roller does not do

The honest boundary, so you do not lose time finding it yourself.

  • It does not parse dice notation, so you cannot type 3d6+2 and get a modifier applied.
  • It has no advantage or disadvantage mode, and no exploding, rerolling, or drop-lowest rules.
  • It rolls a maximum of 20 dice at once, with between 2 and 100 sides each.
  • It keeps no history, so previous rolls are not recorded and cannot be audited afterwards.

FAQ

Common questions

Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.

How do I roll a d20 online?

Set the sides to 20, the number of dice to 1, and press Roll. The result shows the roll and its total, and pressing Roll again draws a fresh, independent number. For advantage or disadvantage, roll 2 dice at once and read the higher or lower of the two listed results.

Can I roll multiple dice at once?

Yes, up to 20 in one click, all with the same number of sides. The output lists every die individually and then sums them, so 3d6 or 8d6 is a single roll rather than a series.

Can I roll a d100?

Yes. Set the sides to 100 and each roll returns a number from 1 to 100 directly, with no need to pair percentile dice. Any side count from 2 to 100 works the same way.

Does it work for D&D and other tabletop games?

Yes, for the rolls themselves: every die in the standard set is covered, and individual results are shown so rules like drop-the-lowest still work. Modifiers, advantage, and exploding dice are applied by you, since the roller deliberately stays system-neutral.

Is the dice roller free?

Yes, with no signup and no roll limit. It runs entirely in your browser, so it also works offline once the page has loaded.

Is a digital die really as fair as a physical one?

It is fairer. A manufactured die is not a perfect cube, and on a standard pipped die the material drilled out for the pips makes the six face slightly lighter than the one, which biases the result toward six by a small but measurable amount. Casino dice are made with flush, filled pips precisely to eliminate this. A die rolled here draws from a cryptographically secure generator with rejection sampling, so every face has exactly equal probability, which no physical object can quite manage.

Why is rolling three dice different from rolling one big one?

Because sums of dice form a bell curve while a single die is flat. Every face of a d20 has a 5% chance. With 3d6, the total of 10 or 11 comes up about 12.5% of the time each, while the extremes of 3 and 18 occur only once in 216 rolls. That clustering toward the middle is the entire point of rolling multiple dice in a game system: it makes average outcomes common and extreme ones memorable.

I rolled four sixes in a row. Is it broken?

No. Four consecutive sixes on a d6 has a probability of about one in 1,296, which sounds unlikely until you consider how many sequences of four rolls happen across all the people using a dice roller. Random sequences contain runs, and they contain more of them than people expect: a truly random sequence looks clumpy, and a sequence that looks evenly spread is usually the one that has been tampered with. Each roll here is drawn independently, so no previous result has any influence on the next.

Can I roll 3d6 plus a modifier?

Not directly. The roller gives you the individual dice and their total, and any modifier has to be added yourself. It also does not support advantage, disadvantage, exploding dice, or drop-the-lowest rules, all of which are game-system-specific. What it does give you is every individual result rather than only the sum, so you can apply whatever rule your system needs.

Does the roll happen on a server?

No. Every roll is generated in your browser and nothing is transmitted. If you need a roll that another person can verify was not re-rolled, no client-side tool can give you that, and you would need a witnessed physical roll or a commitment scheme.
