The Dice Roller is a virtual tool that simulates rolling physical dice with various numbers of sides. It's perfect for board games, tabletop role-playing games, random decision making, or any situation where you need a random number generator.
Types of Dice
Standard Dice
Standard dice come in various polyhedral shapes with different numbers of sides:
D4 (4-sided): Tetrahedron shaped, used in many RPGs for small damage values.
D6 (6-sided): The classic cube-shaped die used in most board games.
D8 (8-sided): Octahedron shaped, commonly used in RPGs.
D10 (10-sided): Used for decimal values from 0-9 or 1-10.
D12 (12-sided): Dodecahedron shaped, less common but used in some RPGs.
D20 (20-sided): Icosahedron shaped, essential for many role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons.
D100 (percentile): Typically rolled using two D10s, one for tens and one for ones, to generate numbers from 1-100.
Applications of Dice Rolling
Tabletop RPGs: For determining success of actions, damage dealt, random encounters, etc.
Board games: When physical dice are lost or unavailable.
Decision making: Assign options to numbers and let chance decide.
Educational: Demonstrate probability concepts and statistics.
Game development: Test random number generation for games in development.
Note:
This dice roller uses a computational random number generator. While not perfectly random like physical dice, it provides sufficiently random results for most purposes. The generator creates numbers with equal probability for each value within the range of the die being rolled.
