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. ROLL IN WAYS THAT FIT YOU • Tap the die, shake your wrist, or use Double Tap (Apple Watch Series 9, Series 10, Ultra 2 and later). • Ask Siri: "Roll a d20 in Roll 20!" • Use the "Roll dice" action in Shortcuts, or assign it to the Action button on Apple Watch Ultra. • Add the complication to your watch face and open a d20 straight from it.
