Roll a d20 instantly

The twenty-sided die — the d20 — is the heart of nearly every modern tabletop role-playing game. This roller defaults to a single d20, so one tap gives you a clean result from 1 to 20. There are no dice to lose under the couch and no app to install; the roll happens in your browser the moment you press the button.

What the d20 is used for

In d20-based systems like Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition and Pathfinder, almost every meaningful action resolves on a d20:

  • Attack rolls — roll a d20, add your attack bonus, and compare to the target's Armor Class.
  • Saving throws — roll a d20 plus the relevant save modifier to resist a spell, poison, or trap.
  • Ability checks and skill checks — roll a d20 plus a skill bonus against a Difficulty Class set by the game master.

Natural 20s and natural 1s

A "natural 20" is a raw roll of 20 on the die before any modifiers — on an attack it is an automatic hit and, in most systems, a critical hit that doubles or maximizes damage. A "natural 1" is the opposite: a raw 1, which usually means an automatic miss and, in many tables' house rules, a fumble. Because this tool shows the unmodified die face, you always know whether you scored a natural 20 or a natural 1.

Is each d20 roll fair?

Every face from 1 to 20 has exactly a 5% chance on each roll. The die has no memory, so a string of low rolls does not make a high roll "due." If you want the advantage and disadvantage mechanic — rolling two d20s and keeping the higher or lower — use the full D&D dice roller, which adds those buttons. For a quick single die during play, this d20 roller is the fastest way to get a number you can trust.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a d20 used for?+

A d20 (twenty-sided die) is the core die in tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder. You roll it for attack rolls, saving throws, and ability or skill checks, then add the relevant modifier and compare the total to a target number.

What is a natural 20?+

A natural 20 is rolling a 20 on the raw die before adding any modifiers. On an attack roll it is an automatic hit and usually a critical hit. This tool displays the unmodified die result, so you can always tell when you roll a natural 20.

What is a natural 1?+

A natural 1 is rolling a 1 on the raw die. On an attack it is an automatic miss regardless of your bonuses, and many tables treat it as a fumble. Because the roller shows the unmodified face, a natural 1 is easy to spot.

What are the odds of rolling any number on a d20?+

Each of the twenty faces has an equal 5% (1 in 20) chance on every roll. The die has no memory, so previous results do not change the odds of the next roll.

How do I roll a d20 with advantage or disadvantage?+

Advantage means rolling two d20s and keeping the higher result; disadvantage means keeping the lower. This single-die roller covers straight d20 rolls; use the D&D dice roller for built-in advantage and disadvantage buttons.
