Dice Roller
Dice Roller generates between one and one hundred rolls for dice with at least two sides, then reports each face and the total. Every die uses labels from 1 through the selected side count. It models ordinary independent fair dice for informal play; it does not support weighted dice, exploding rules, modifiers, advantage, dice notation, or auditable tournament randomness.

Choose the number of dice and sides per die. The tool returns every roll and their sum.
Each fair die has equally intended face labels
A dS die has S possible integers from 1 to S. Rolling N dice creates N outcomes. The minimum total is N and maximum total is N×S.
How it works
Enter whole-number dice count and side count. Read individual results before the total when game rules care about specific faces.
Key concepts
Totals are not equally likely
Two six-sided dice produce seven more often than two or twelve because more combinations sum to seven.
Limits are normalized
The tool uses at least one die, at least two sides, and caps the count at one hundred.
When to use it
- Roll common or custom-sided dice informally.
- Generate a quick total for a tabletop game.
- Demonstrate the range of a dice pool.
When not to use it
- Do not use it for regulated gambling or a certified tournament procedure.
- Do not expect weighted or custom-face probabilities.
- Do not confuse the total range with equal probability of every total.
Worked examples
One d6
- Input
1 die, 6 sides- Expected output
One integer from 1 to 6
Every standard face is eligible.
Two d6
- Input
2 dice, 6 sides- Expected output
Two rolls; total from 2 to 12
Seven has more combinations than the extremes.
Percentile-style pair
- Input
2 dice, 10 sides- Expected output
Two labels and sum
This is a sum, not automatic tens-and-ones percentile notation.
Common mistakes
Assuming totals are uniform
Middle sums have more combinations. Correction: Use the dice-sum distribution when probability matters.
Entering one side
A one-sided die has no random face choice. Correction: Use at least two sides.
Expecting game modifiers
The tool only rolls and sums. Correction: Apply modifiers according to game rules.
Best practices
- State count and sides before rolling.
- Use individual rolls when rules require them.
- Agree on the digital roller before play.
