Roll a d4
Roll a fair four-sided die online. Instant results for D&D damage rolls and any game that needs a quick 1 to 4, with totals when you roll several at once.
What a d4 is for
The four-sided die is the smallest die in the standard tabletop set. In Dungeons & Dragons it covers small damage rolls: a dagger, a sling, and famously each dart of the magic missile spell, which rolls 1d4+1 per dart. Each face lands one in four times, an even 25 percent, and the average roll is 2.5, which is why d4 weapons hit often in fiction but never hit hard.
Why people avoid the physical d4
A real d4 is a caltrop: it does not tumble, it lands flat, and you read the result from the number printed around the apex or the base edge, depending on the mold. It is the die most often misread at the table and the worst one to step on. A digital d4 fixes both: the result appears as a plain number, instantly, with no debate about which numbering convention your particular die uses.
Rolling several d4 at once
Set the number of dice higher to roll a batch, up to twenty, and the roller totals them for you. That covers a three-dart magic missile (roll 3d4 and add 3) or any healing potion style 2d4+2 roll in one click. Every result is a fair, independent draw from your browser’s cryptographic random source. Need a different die? Try the d8, d20, or the full dice roller for d4 through d100.
Frequently asked questions
What are the odds of each number on a d4?
Each face from 1 to 4 lands exactly one in four times, or 25%, on every roll. The average roll is 2.5, and rolls are independent, so a 4 is never due.
How do I roll magic missile damage with this d4 roller?
Magic missile fires three darts at 1d4+1 each. Set the number of dice to three, roll, and add 3 to the total the roller shows.
Why is a physical d4 so hard to read?
A four-sided die lands flat instead of showing one face up, so the result is printed around the apex or base edge and differs per mold. A digital d4 shows the number directly.
Is this online d4 roller fair?
Yes. Each of the four faces has an equal chance on every roll, drawn from your browser's cryptographic random source with no weighting.
