How the Dice Roller Works
Our virtual dice roller simulates physical dice with cryptographically secure randomness. Each die type uses the correct number of faces: a D4 has equal chances for 1-4, a D20 for 1-20, and so on. The roller calculates results instantly and displays them with satisfying animations.
Select your dice type from the grid, choose how many to roll (1-10), and hit the Roll button. The tool shows each individual die result plus the total sum. For D20 rolls, we highlight critical successes (20) and fumbles (1) with special effects.
How to Use
- Select your dice type (D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, D20, or D100).
- Choose how many dice to roll using the slider or quick buttons.
- Tap Roll Dice and watch the animation.
- See individual values and the total sum.
- Check your roll history for previous results.
- Share epic Natural 20s with your party!

- A Natural 20 (or "Nat 20") on a D20 is a critical hit in most tabletop games. It's the best possible result and often triggers special effects. Our tool celebrates this with a special animation!
- What is a Critical Fail?
- Rolling a 1 on a D20 is often called a "critical fail" or "fumble." In many games, this results in automatic failure or comedic mishaps. We mark these rolls so you can't miss them.
