What Is This Tool?

The Online Dice Roller allows you to simulate rolling one or more dice with any number of sides using uniform pseudo-random number generation. It's designed to provide fair and instant roll outcomes for gaming, education, and decision-making.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Select the number of dice you want to roll (k).
  • Choose the number of sides on each die (N).
  • Click the calculate or roll button to generate your results.
  • View the individual roll results and the total of all dice rolled.
  • Use the results for gaming, teaching probability, or making random choices.

Key Features

  • Simulates dice rolls using uniform random integer generation.
  • Supports different dice types, including those with 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, or 20 sides.
  • Allows rolling multiple dice at once and sums the results.
  • Uses a pseudo-random algorithm to ensure unbiased and fair rolls.
  • Ideal for tabletop role-playing games, board games, and simulations.

Examples

  • Roll 3 six-sided dice (3d6): Possible rolls might be 4, 2, and 6 with a total of 12.
  • Roll a single 20-sided die (1d20) to simulate an RPG attack roll.
  • Roll 5 ten-sided dice (5d10) and sum to test random distributions.

Common Use Cases

  • Generating random results for tabletop RPGs like D&D and Pathfinder.
  • Simulating probability experiments for education.
  • Making fair and random decisions in games or daily life.
  • Supporting board game mechanics requiring dice rolls.
  • Creating random event outcomes in simulations.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure you select the correct number of dice and sides to match your game's requirements.
  • Use multiple rolls to observe distribution patterns in probability exercises.
  • Remember the results are generated algorithmically and represent pseudo-randomness.
  • Verify totals after rolling multiple dice to confirm accuracy.
  • Use this tool as a quick and reliable way to replace physical dice.

Limitations

  • Results are based on pseudo-random number generation, not true physical randomness.
  • The calculator does not support weighted or biased dice rolls.
  • Outcome fairness depends on the uniform distribution algorithm used.
  • Not suitable for applications requiring cryptographic-level randomness.
  • Does not simulate dice with special effects or non-standard distributions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I roll multiple dice at once?
Yes, you can specify the number of dice to roll, and the tool will generate individual results and their total.

What types of dice sides are supported?
The tool supports common dice with 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, or 20 sides.

Are the dice rolls truly random?
The results use pseudo-random number generation with a uniform distribution to simulate fairness but are not truly random.

Can this tool simulate weighted dice?
No, it does not simulate weighted or biased dice—it only generates fair rolls based on uniform randomness.

Key Terminology

N
The number of sides on each die being rolled, such as 6 for a six-sided die.
k
The number of dice rolled simultaneously.
Result
The outcome of each individual die roll or the total sum when multiple dice are rolled.
Pseudo-random number generation
An algorithmic process that produces numbers approximating true randomness for fair roll simulation.
