About the Dice Roller
This free online dice roller handles every roll a D&D 5e table needs without reaching for physical dice. Tap a preset for the standard polyhedral set (d4 through d20, plus 2d6 and d100), or type dice notation like 2d6+3 to roll anything on the fly. Each result shows the total, the individual dice, and any modifier applied, so you can read out exactly what happened.
Nine one-tap presets cover the common rolls, including a dedicated 4d6 drop lowest button for rolling ability scores the classic way. A running history keeps your last 20 rolls on screen, so a forgotten damage total or a contested initiative is still there when someone asks. Everything runs in your browser: nothing is sent to a server, and there is no account to create.
Tips for Rolling
- Use the notation field for anything the presets miss: 3d8+5 for a fireball, 1d12+4 for a greataxe hit, or 1d% for a percentile check. The parser reads a dice count, sides, and an optional plus or minus modifier.
- Roll ability scores with the 4d6 drop lowest preset. It rolls four six-sided dice, discards the single lowest, and shows both the kept dice and which one it dropped.
- Read the breakdown, not just the total, when advantage, resistance, or a crit is in play; the individual dice are printed so you can double a damage die or take the higher of two rolls yourself.
- Lean on the roll history to settle "wait, what did I get?" moments. The last 20 rolls stay listed with their dice, so you rarely have to re-roll a contested result.
Common Questions
- Is this dice roller free?
- Yes. Every tool on Tools and Taverns is free, with no account, signup, or generation limit.
- What dice notation does it accept?
- Standard NdM notation with an optional modifier, such as 2d6+3, 1d20-1, or 4d8. You can also use d% for a percentile (d100) roll. Leave the count off and it defaults to a single die, so d20 rolls one twenty-sided die.
- How do I roll ability scores?
- Use the 4d6 drop lowest preset. It rolls four six-sided dice and drops the lowest one for each score, the standard 5e method. Tap it six times, once per ability, and note each kept total.
- Can I roll unusual dice like a d30 or a big handful?
- Yes. The custom roll form takes any number of dice from 1 to 100 and any number of sides from 2 to 100, plus a modifier, so oddball dice and large pools are both covered.
- Does it save my roll history?
- It keeps your most recent 20 rolls on screen during the session so you can look back at a total or its dice. The history lives only in your browser and clears when you reload or leave the page.
