Basic dice

Dice are defined in a format you are probably used reading:

[number]d[sides]

Please note that both parameters are optional.

  • If sides is not given, the engine assumes you want to use d6.
  • If number is not given, the engine assumes you want to roll only one.

Examples:

3d6 rolls 3 six-sided dice
2d20 rolls 2 twenty-sided-dice
5d rolls 5 six-sided dice
d shortest version, rolls 1 six-sided die

Whenever you roll dice, you are presented with the individual dice's results. If no further processing has been specified, the sum of all rolls will be calculated and shown.
