BBCode: Dice Roller

Original written by Sai, updated by SoulLink

World Anvil BBCode includes a dice roller. This BBCode creates a button which can be clicked to roll some dice. The result is then displayed in a small pop-up on the screen. Using various different commands you can simulate almost any kind of dice roll! This guide gives a basic overview on how to use this BBCode.

Basic Examples

Code	Description	Result
[roll:1d4]	A normal four sided die.	1d4
[roll:1d%]	A percentage die (1 - 100).	1d%
[roll:1dF]	A fudge die (six sided die with the values 1, 1, -1, -1, 0 & 0).	1dF
[roll:1d4+5]	Add (or subtract) a modifier.	1d4+5

Roll Labels

You can replace the displayed expression with a custom label by using the pipe separator. This code [roll:1d20|Roll Initiative] will result in Roll Initiative .

Advanced Examples

Code	Description	Result
[roll:3d8min3]	Rolled results are at least 3.	3d8min3
[roll:3d8max5]	Rolled results are at most 5.	3d8max5
[roll:2d6!]	Exploding die. Check the documentation for compounding and penetrating dice.	2d6!
[roll:{1d4+5, 2d3}]	Group rolls require curly brackets and are separated by a comma. You can apply modifiers to the full expression as well.	{1d4+5,2d3}

There are many more modifiers like drop, keep, critical failure & success, sort and more. The full documentation of its capabilities can be found here.

Missing a modifier?

You can request missing modifiers here. Do not request modifiers with WorldAnvil, as it simply depends on that library.
