Totals run from 8 to 48 with an average of 28, and every individual die is listed under the total. In D&D 5e 8d6 is fireball and lightning bolt at third level, which is why it is the most rolled handful of dice at many tables.

Questions

What is the average roll of 8d6?
The average of 8d6 is 28. Each d6 averages 3.5, and 8 of them add up to 28. Totals near the middle of the 8 to 48 range come up far more often than the extremes.
How do I add a modifier to 8d6?
Type the full expression in the dice notation field, for example 8d6+5, and press Roll notation. The total shown includes the modifier, and the dice are still listed separately.
Is this dice roller free?
Yes. Every tool on Tools and Taverns is free, with no account, signup, or roll limit. The roll runs in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.
Can I see my previous rolls?
Yes. The roller keeps your last 20 rolls on screen with the individual dice for each, so a contested result is still there when someone asks what you got.
