Dice Roller

Notation the roller understands

Enter standard RPG dice strings: NdM with an optional +K or -K modifier (examples: 1d20, 2d6+3, 4d8-1). Generate shows each die face plus the total so contested rolls stay transparent. Quantity fires the same expression multiple times—handy for five attack rolls or a handful of damage packs without retyping.

Table uses beyond “roll a d20”

• Advantage / disadvantage (5e-style): roll 2d20 with quantity 1 twice… or roll 1d20 twice via quantity 2 and keep high or low yourself. The roller reports each face so you can apply the rule manually.
• Exploding dice / open-ended rolls: roll the die, and when you see the max face, roll again and add. Repeat as your system requires—the individual faces make this easy.
• Custom die sizes: any reasonable NdM works for niche systems (1d3, 1d100, 3d12). Use modifiers for skill bonuses baked into the expression.
• Mass damage or minion checks: crank quantity to roll the same attack or save many times, then read down the list.
• Keep physical dice for ceremony; use this when a die is missing, remote players need a shared roll, or you are pre-rolling a night of wandering-monster checks.

About this dice roller

Digital dice won't replace the clatter of real sets, but they will save a session when your d20 rolls under the couch into another dimension. This roller parses common RPG notation: number of dice, sides, and an optional modifier.

Use it for quick checks, loot quantities, or mass rolling when you need five attack rolls and the physical dice are still in your bag in the car. Results show individual rolls plus the total so nothing feels like a black box.
