Dice Types

Standard Dice x(d{n})

The Formula:
x = Number of dice to roll.
d = Abbv. for 'dice'.
n = Die type.

A standard die has a positive number of sides, like a typical 6-sided die (d6), or a common 20-sided die (d20).

Sample Rolls:

/roll d6 Rolls a single 6-sided die.
/roll 1d6 Rolls one 6-sided die (as above).
/roll 4d10 Rolls a 10-sided die 4 times.

However, in a digital online environment, you can roll dice with nearly any number of sides. For example, a 3-sided die (d3) or even a 66-sided die (d66).

Percentile Dice x(d%)

The Formula:

x = Number of dice to roll.
d = Abbv. for 'dice'.
% = Same as d100.

Percentile dice rolls a number between 1-100, and are specified with the format d%. This is shorthand for a 100-sided die (d100).

Sample Rolls:

/roll d100 Rolls a single 100-sided die.
/roll d% Rolls a single 100-sided die.
/roll 1d100 Rolls one 100-sided die (as above).
/roll 1d% Rolls a single 100-sided die (as above).
