Online Die Rolling tools

[Cedric]

Heya guys...

Anyone have any links for good online die rolling tools. Either html or downloadable programs?

I've found a few, but none that I like that much...

My GM gave me a choice of two die rolling methods, they are...

First, organic 4d6: roll 4d6 6 times, arrange IN ORDER. Then you can reroll a single score, and then swap any two scores.

Choice #2: roll 3d6, arrange in any order you choose. Twice during these rolls, you may choose to reroll the low die (whether you reroll the 4 in 6-6-4 or the 2 in 2-2-1 is up to you). In addition to this, you have a second choice: you can either be protected by a re-roll if your modifiers are less than +1 or you have no score better than 13, OR you can, at the end of arranging the scores, replace any score with a 4d6 roll, and then replace any ability with a 5d6 roll (both dropping the low die/low 2 dice). The replacements must be called before you roll them (ie, name the stat), and you get them whether they are better or worse.

I'm leaning towards the second method, but can't decide, thought I might do some test rolls here at work to help make up my mind.

Any thoughts?

you could try Irony's dice server. works fine to me. in fact, mmu1 rolled up the most impressive character i've ever seen with it. i'd tell you his stats, but you likely wouldn't believe me

Oh come on, tell us! Did he use the mail server with the PGP verifiable tag?

The only "main" one I am familiar with is the Irony Games one that has already been linked to, above.

The other two I have used have been on:

playbyweb.com

and rpol.net

though, both are web forums for web games so the roller is there to insert results in your games, etc. so I don't know how easy they are to access without a game. grantite, they are failry basic.

irony would be the better (of the three) for all around usability and accessibility.

I have my own online dice roller if you need one still. I've statistically verified the output, and it checks out just fine.
