While most tabletop games use standard 6-sided dice, there are some games which require a range of specially-sided dice, such as 4-sided, 8-sided or even 100-sided dice!
A standard form for abbreviating these different types of dice is by using the notation 'dX' where 'd' refers to a die(singular) or dice(plural), and 'X' represents the number of sides. A 6-sided die would be referred to as d6 or a 10-sided die as d10. Furthermore, where a number of dice are required it is notated as 'Xd', where 'X' is the number of dice to roll. So for example, a D&D player who was rolling a strength score for a new character would need to roll 3d6, or three(3) 6-sided dice.
DnD Dice Roller allows all types of dice rolls required by D&D and most other tabletop games, as per the table below.
| dX | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
d2 | 2-sided die | Any two-faced object could be used but typically a coin toss is sufficient when a d2 is required. |
d3 | 3-sided die | A theoretical die only. Some tabletop games require a d3 roll, but this is usually accomplished by rolling a d6 and halving the result. |
d4 | 4-sided die | A tetrahedron, or a 3-sided pyramid shape. The simplest three-dimensional shape that can be accomplished for dice-rolling purposes. |
d6 | 6-sided die | The classic and most typical cube-shaped die. Used by most tabletop games. |
d8 | 8-sided die | An octahedron. Looks like two four-sided pyramids pressed together at the base. |
d10 | 10-sided die | A decahedron. Similar in appearance to the d8, but in this case two pentagonal pyramids with bases pressed together. |
d12 | 12-sided die | A dodecahedron. This die is starting to look less like a die and more like a ball. Twelve pentagonal faces combine to form this multi-sided die. |
d20 | 20-sided die | An icosahedron, or twenty-sided shape. If you thought the d12 looked ball-like, this one is a step closer. Made up of twenty triangular-shaped faces. |
d100 | 100-sided die | The mighty hectohedron. Not really a die, the 'Zocchihedron' is a ball with a hundred flattened faces. Most players roll 2d10 instead, where two dice become the 1's and 10's places, with two 10's (often represented as '00') being 100. |
There can be many different dice types, numbers and combations required to play a game. Part of the fun of playing is having a personal collection of dice. But sometimes there are roll requirements that become difficult and time-consuming when performed with physical dice. DnD Dice Roller can help when the dice rolls get too large or to save time during preparation and gameplay.
