FAQ
How does 4d6 drop lowest work?
Roll four d6, ignore the single lowest die, and add the other three. You repeat this six times to fill out a character’s ability scores. Dropping the lowest die raises the average result to roughly 12.2 (versus 10.5 for 3d6), so heroes come out a little stronger.
Are these 4d6 drop lowest rolls really random?
Yes. Each die uses your browser’s cryptographic random generator with rejection sampling, so every face has an exactly equal chance — no modulo bias, no loaded dice.
Does this dice roller run in my browser?
Yes. Every roll happens locally on your device — nothing is uploaded and it works offline once the page has loaded.
