Frequently Asked Questions
Are the dice rolls truly random?
Yes, the dice roller uses JavaScript’s Math.random() function which generates pseudo-random numbers. While not cryptographically secure, it provides sufficient randomness for games and general use. Each roll is independent and has an equal probability for each possible outcome.
Can I roll more than 10 dice at once?
Currently, the calculator supports rolling up to 10 dice at once. This limit helps maintain performance and readability of results. For larger quantities, you can roll multiple times and combine the results.
What dice types are supported?
Our dice roller supports 4-sided, 6-sided (standard), 8-sided, 10-sided, 12-sided, and 20-sided dice. These cover the most common dice types used in board games and tabletop RPGs.
How does the total sum calculation work?
The total sum adds up all the individual dice results. For example, if you roll three 6-sided dice and get 4, 5, and 6, the total sum would be 15.
