Frequently Asked Questions
Are the dice rolls truly random?
Yes, the dice roller uses JavaScript's random number generator to produce unpredictable results. Each roll is independent and has an equal probability of landing on any face.
Can I roll multiple dice at once?
Yes! You can roll up to 10 dice simultaneously. The calculator will show each individual result and the total sum of all dice rolled.
What is a D20 used for?
The D20 (20-sided die) is most commonly used in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons. Players roll it to determine the success or failure of actions, attacks, and skill checks.
Can I use this for board games?
Absolutely! This dice roller works great for any board game that requires dice. Most board games use standard 6-sided dice (D6), but some games use other types as well.
What's the difference between physical and virtual dice?
Virtual dice use computer algorithms to generate random numbers, while physical dice rely on physics and chance. Both methods produce random results, but virtual dice are more convenient and can't be lost!
