Dice roller guide: build multi-dice rolls fast

An online dice roller saves setup time, especially when you need multiple dice, quick totals, or a clean roll history. It works for Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), other tabletop RPGs, board games, and probability demos.

1. Start with your game or lesson

Different contexts call for different dice mixes. A dice roller helps you build the exact pool you need without hunting for missing dice.

• D&D and tabletop RPGs: Ability checks, saving throws, damage dice, and initiative.
• Board games: Movement, combat rolls, and quick tie-breakers.
• Classroom lessons: Probability and distribution demos with large dice pools.

2. Pick the dice you need

Start with the dice type that matches your rules. Most games use a mix of D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, and D20.

• Use a D20 for main checks or attack rolls.
• Use a D6 for damage, resources, or movement.
• Use a D4 or D8 for bonuses or short effects.

3. Build a multi-dice roll

Add the first die, choose the count, and click add. Repeat to build a mixed pool, then roll everything together.

4. Name dice for clarity

Labeling each die keeps the results easy to read, especially when several dice share the same type.

In a quick D&D round, you might roll an Attack D20, a Fire D6, and a Shield D4 at once. Naming each die makes the outcomes clear before you announce the total.

5. Read totals and keep history

The total shows the combined value, while individual results are listed so you can audit the roll. This helps when players ask how a total was calculated.
