DICE FOR EVERY GAME Roll a d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20 or d100. Perfect for Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder and any other tabletop role-playing game, board games and quick decisions. 3D DICE Real 3D dice that tumble and land on your result. Prefer the classic look? Switch to a big, clear number in Settings. ROLL SEVERAL DICE AT ONCE Roll up to 8 dice together, for example 3d6 for ability scores or 8d6 for a fireball. You see every die and the total. ADVANTAGE AND DISADVANTAGE Roll two d20 and keep the higher (advantage) or the lower (disadvantage) with one tap. The die that does not count fades out. NATURAL 20 AND NATURAL 1 A natural 20 gets a golden flash and a celebratory tap on your wrist. A natural 1 gets a wobble and a sad tap. The effects can be switched off. MODIFIERS Turn the Digital Crown or tap + and − to add a modifier. Add it once to the total, or to every roll. YOUR COLORS Choose a color for each die and for its numbers from the presets, or mix your own custom color.
