Lottery feature allows you to give a list of names and SilentDice makes it a dice that you can throw, randomly selecting one of the names.  Dice feature brings you regular dice that give numbers as result, but you may freely pick the number of dice and how many sides they have. You can combine dozens of different dice in a single throw if you like. You may also define your own weighted dice where the chance of each side is freely configurable.
