Roll20 propose de nombreux moyens d'utiliser les dés. Dans cette page, nous avons compilé une liste de tous les différents lancers de dés qu'il est possible d'effectuer. Chaque type est accompagné d'un champ interactif vous permettant de lancer des dés de la même façon que sur Roll 20 -- un bon moyen d'essayer et vérifier que notre système peut supporter votre style de jeu.

Vous voulez passer directement à l'essentiel ? Jetez un oeil aux Manuel_complet_des_dés#Roll20 Caractéristiques des dés Roll20 pour des informations avancées !

Commencer lancer des dés

Lancer un dé dans Roll20 est facile ! Tapez simplement la commande /roll dans le champ de texte du chat suivi d'une formule. Dans la plupart des cas, la formule est la même que celle qui est imprimée dans les règles de votre jeu. Par exemple, vous devriez savoir que pour lancer une attaque, vous devrez lancer un "D20 plus votre modificateur d'attaque". Dans Roll20, vous taperez simplement /roll 1d20+5. Si votre attaque touche et que vous avez besoin de lancer 3d6+2 de dommages, vous taperez simplement /roll 3d6+2. Enfin, vous pouvez aussi enchaîner plusieurs jets de dés d'un coup. Si vous avez une attaque qui fait deux types de dommages, vous devrez faire /roll 2d6+5 + 1d8.

Une fois le jet de dé effectué, vous pouvez voir le résultat du jet dans la zone de texte du chat. Notez que chaque groupe de dés qui a été lancé, il y aura un groupe de nombres inscrits entre parenthèses représentant les résultats individuels de chaque dé qui a été lancé. Vous pourrez aussi voir le total de tous les dés lancés plus le modificateurs à droite du signe égal.

Jeter secrètement un dé

Par défaut, chaque lancer que vous faites est visible par tout le monde dans le jeu (y compris les joueurs). Si vous souhaitez lancer un dé en secret, utilisez la commande /gmroll afin d'effectuer un jet visible uniquemnt par le MJ et le lanceur du dé. Donc, si vous êtes le MJ, effectuer un /gmroll lancera un dé uniquement visible par vous. C'est un bon moyen de faire des vérifications de compétences en secret.

Ajouter des informations additionnelles

Vous pouvez également ajouter du texte ne faisant pas partie de la formule dans votre lancer pour indiquer son utilité. Par exemple, lorsque vous lancez un dé pour connaître votre initiative, vous pouvez entrer /roll 1d20+5 Jet d'initiative. Le texte supplémentaire n'affectera pas votre lancer d'aucune façon, mais il sera ajouté dans le chat afin que les autres personnes puissent connaître l'utilité de votre lancer. Cet ajout est totalement optionnelle, mais certains MJ trouvent que cette option aide à s'y retrouver un peu mieux.

Si vous souhaitez ajouter un nombre, des parenthèses, ou +, -, *, /, or % dans votre texte, vous pouvez le précéder d'un \ pour le séparer de la formule et empêcher toute confusion. Vous pouvez par exemple faire /roll 1d20+5 \ Jet d'initiative.

Si vous souhaitez ajouter des commentaires avant la fin du lancer (nous appelons cela des "marqueurs internes"), utilisez des crochets. Par exemple, /roll 2d20+5[Dommages de feu] + 3d6+5[Dommages de glace]. Lorsque ces commentaires sont appliqués directement après un jet de dé, ils apparaissent comme des infobulles au survol du dé.

Jets de dés dans le texte

Si vous souhaitez une représentation plus concise du jet de dé, vous pouvez afficher les jets de dés dans le texte. Ces jets de dés sont comme des jets classiques à l'exception des points suivants :

• Vous pouvez les utiliser dans n'importe quel message du chat, pas uniquement un jeu. Par exemple, vous pouvez taper un message normale, une émoticône, ou un message privé incluant un jet de dé.
• Ils sont calculés avant les commandes /roll, vous pouvez donc les utiliser comme des "variables aléatoires" dans vos jets.
• Seul le résultat total du jet sera affiché, mais pourrez voir le détail des dés en le survolant.
• Si un jet de dé dans un texte contient un succès critique, il sera surligné en vert. S'il y a un échec critique, il sera surligné en rouge. S'il contient les deux (parce qu'il y a eu plusieurs lancers), il sera en bleu. De même, lorsque vous survolez le résultat du lancer pour voir son détail, les réussites et échecs critiques de chaque jet seront écrits en rouge et vert.

Pour effectuer un jet de dé à l'intérieur d'un texte, ajoutez simplement deux crochets dans chaque message ou jet de cette façon :

/em Riley gagne [[3d6]] points de rage !
/roll [[2d6]]d5

Requêtes de jet

Il se peut parfois que vous ayez un jet (ou une macro) qui doit changer à chaque utilisation. Par exemple si vous souhaitez lancer un nombre de dés variable, ou ajouter un modificateur différent lors du jet à chaque fois que vous effectuez une action. Les requêtes de jet vous permettent de demander à la personne qui fait le jet d'indiquer une valeur lors du lancer. La syntaxe pour une requête de jet est :

Sometimes you may have a roll (or a macro) which you want to change every time it is rolled. For example, you may want to roll a variable number of dice, or add a different modifier onto the roll each time you perform the action. Roll Queries allow you to prompt whoever is performing the roll to fill in a value when the roll is made. The syntax for a roll query is:

?{Message}
// Exemple :
/roll ?{Nombre de dés}d20
// Vous pouvez également préciser une valeur par défaut :
/roll ?{Nombre de dés|1}d20
// 1 sera la valeur par défaut

Vous pouvez utiliser des requêtes de jet dans les jets, les macros, les capacités, les émoticônes, les messages privés -- à peu près n'importe où dans l'application. Notez que si vous utilisez plusieurs fois exactement le même nom pour une requête, Roll20 ne demandera la valeur que la première fois qu'il la rencontrera dans le jet. Par exemple :

/roll 1d20 + ?{Bonus 1} vs ?{Minimum pour réussir} + ?{Bonus 1}

Roll20 ne demandera qu'une seule fois la valeur "Bonus 1" et l'utilisera aux deux endroits.

Opérations mathématiques

Vous pouvez effectuer des opérations mathématiques en ajoutant une expression mathématique après la commande de jet.

Par exemple, si vous souhaitez que Roll20 fasse une simple addition telle que 5 + 3, vous entrerez :

/roll 5+3

Ou bien, si vous souhaitez l'afficher à l'intérieur d'un texte :

[[5+3]]

Exploding Dice

Roll20 supports exploding dice -- you may also know it as "rule of 6", "rule of 10s", or "acing" depending on your game system. With exploding dice, if you roll the maximum number on the dice (a 6 with a d6, a 10 with a d10, etc.) you get to re-roll again and add the additional roll to your total for that roll. If the additional roll is also a maximum number, you get to keep rolling!

To perform a roll with exploding dice, just add an exclamation point after the number of sides in the formula. For example, /roll 3d6! would roll 3 d6 dice with exploding re-rolls. You can also define the exploding point for the dice using the greater-than and less-than symbols. For example, /roll 3d6!>4 would explode on any dice greater-than or equal-to 4. /roll 3d6!3 would explode only if a 3 is rolled.

Compounding Exploding Dice (Shadowrun-Style Exploding Dice)

Shadowrun (and some other systems) use a special style of exploding dice where the the additional rolls for each dice are added together as a single "roll". To do this, just use two exclamation marks instead of one. So for example to roll 5 d6's, you would do /roll 5d6!!. A common Shadowrun roll would be exploding dice compared to a target number, for example /roll {5d6!!}>8 (notice the use of the brackets to show that we don't mean "explode on anything greater than 8", but rather "explode on 6's compounding, then compare to 8 for successes). Even though the target number (8) is higher than the possible roll from a single dice, with the compounding exploding rolls a single roll can be infinitely high!

Penetrating Exploding Dice (Hackmaster-Style Exploding Dice)

HackMaster (and some other systems) use a special style of exploding dice where the the additional rolls for each dice have 1 subtracted from the roll. To do this, add a p after the exclamation mark. So for example to roll 5 d6's, you would do /roll 5d6!p.

Drop/Keep

Some game systems ask you to roll a large number of dice, and then either drop a certain number of the lowest rolls, or keep only a certain number of the highest rolls. Roll20 supports this type of roll through the d and k commands, respectively.

For example, you might roll 8 d100 dice and only be allowed to keep the top 4 rolls. In Roll20 this would be expressed with /roll 8d100k4. When Roll20 prints the output from that roll, you'll see each individual d100's rolled value, and all but the top 4 rolls will be greyed out. Roll20 will then give you the total of the top 4 rolls. Doing a roll to drop the 3 lowest rolls would be very similar: /roll 8d100d3. Again, the value of each dice rolled will be displayed, with the 3 lowest rolls greyed out.

The d and k commands are shortcuts for the full dl and kh commands. If you need to drop the highest dice use dh and if you need to keep the lowest dice use kl. For example /roll 8d100dh3 would drop the highest three rolls and keep the lowest 5 and /roll 8d100kl3 would keep the lowest three rolls and drop the highest 5.

Target Number (Successes)

Normally when you perform a roll, Roll20 reports back the total value of all the dice rolled, plus any modifiers. Some game systems, though, work by rolling a set of dice versus a target number, and then adding up the total number of successes instead. Roll20 uses the greater-than symbol > to indicate when the roll is greater-than or equal-to >= the target number. The less-than symbol < is used to indicate when the roll is less-than or equal-to <= the target number.

For example, you might be performing an action that requires a target number of 3, and you get to roll 3 d6's to see how many successes you have. In Roll20, you would do /roll 3d6>3. Note the inclusion of the greater-than symbol to indicate that this is a target roll versus 3. Roll20 will show you each dice that was rolled, and then tell you the number of dice with a value of 3 or greater (note that ties with the target number count as a success!). You can also roll less-than target numbers, for example /roll 10d6<4, which would give you a success for each dice rolled that is equal to 4 or less.

You can also add modifiers onto your target rolls, and the modifier will be added to each individual dice roll before it is compared to the target number. However, if you're going to do so, it's recommended that you use a group just to make sure the parser fully understands what you want to do. So, /roll {3d6+1}<3 would roll 3 d6 dice, and for each dice roll add on 1, then compare it versus the target number of 3.

Rerolling Dice

Several systems require that certain dice be reroll, for example brutal weapons in D&D 4e require any 1s or 2s to be re-rolled and the orignal die value ignored.

To use reroll, just do /roll 2d8r<2. Roll20 will roll 2 d8 and reroll any 1s or 2s, dropping the original die value. If reroll for a specific value is needed the comparison operator can be left off. /roll 2d8r8 will reroll any 8s. > and < can be used as comparisons and the r suffix can be specified multiple times. /roll 2d8r1r3r5r7 would roll 2d8 and re-roll any odd number.

FATE Dice

Roll20 also supports FATE dice (used for FATE, FUDGE, and other systems). Roll20 accurately simulates FATE dice as 6-sided dice in which two sides are 0, two sides are +1, and two sides are -1.

To roll 4 FATE dice, just do /roll 4dF. Roll20 will show you the result of each individual FATE dice roll, then give you the total of all the dice rolls added up together. You can also add a modifier onto the total, with /roll 4dF+1.

Rounding Rolls

You may want to use rounding in your roll formulas to emulate mechanics such as "half a level, rounded down to the nearest level." Roll20 provides two functions to accomplish this: floor(), which will always round the number down (e.g. 5.7 becomes 5), and ceil() which will always round the number up (e.g. 5.1 becomes 6). You can use these functions almost anywhere in your roll formulas (around a single math expression, groups of math expressions, or even the entire roll). For example:

Grouping Rolls

Sometimes you may want to perform a series of rolls, and then compare each roll to a common check (like a success roll). Roll20 provides a "grouped rolls" functionality for this purpose. For example, you can roll two different pools of dice, then keep the highest dice roll across any of the pools:

If you separate the rolls inside the group with a comma, then we'll sum each individual dice expression in the group before applying any modifiers. For example, if we change the above example to use a comma, instead of keeping the highest single roll, it will instead keep the highest group total:

This is needed in games based on the Savage Worlds system, where important characters roll a "wild die" in parallel with their main die and choose the highest roll.

Grouped rolls can be a very powerful features in Roll20. See more detail about them in the full dice specification below.

Roll To Initiative

To add a roll directly into Roll20's Turn Track (Rolling for Initiative), you'll need to incorporate a "roll option". A roll option is a special Roll20 flag that you can set anywhere in a roll to tell the roll system you'd like to do special things with the roll. For adding an initiative number to the turn track, you'll first need to select the token you wish to roll for and use this formula:

/roll 1d20 + 5 &{tracker}

The &{} part is where you put your options for the roll, and the "tracker" option is what says "Show the results of this roll, but also use the result as the value in the turn tracker." If the token that you have selected doesn't already have a turn in the turn order, one will be added. If it already has at least one turn, all current turns will be updated with the new value.

Order of Operations

While the Roll20 dice engine does support basic math and functions such as floor() and ceil(), it is first and foremost a dice engine, and so it has its own order of operations. This means that putting parentheses inside of your dice formula will not always affect the outcome of the roll (for example, you can't force a variable to be interpreted before a macro). Here is the general order of operations:

1. Abilities are expanded (meaning the definition of the ability is placed in the formula anywhere that ability appears).
2. Macros are expanded, including nested macros up to 99 levels deep.
3. Variables are substituted
4. Roll queries are executed (the player making the roll is asked to provide a value for each query, and that value is substituted in where the roll query appears in the formula)
5. Inline rolls are executed, and the overall result of the inline roll is substituted in wherever the inline roll appeared in the formula.
6. The remaining roll is executed: first, dice are rolled for any dice (e.g. "2d6" is rolled; including any special dice such as dropped or exploding), then the result of that roll is substituted into the formula. Next, floor() and ceil() functions are executed. Finally, the entire remaining formula is evaluated, including observing proper math order of operations (parentheses first, then multiplication/division, then addition/subtraction).

Types Of Dice

Roll20 supports more than just your standard polyhedrons when rolling dice, below are the available die types you can use in your games.

Basic Roll NdX

Rolls N traditional (almost, you can have any number of sides that you want) dice with X sides per die. N must be greater than or equal to 0 and X must be greater than or equal to 1.

Fate/Fudge Roll NdF

Rolls N Fate/Fudge dice. These dice have three sides with values of -1, 0, and 1.

Computed Dice Roll (N+Y)dX/Nd(X+Y)

Computes the number of dice to roll or the number of sides on the dice based on the mathematical expression in the parentheses. Dice computation can be used with both Basic and Fate dice.

Roll Modifiers

Modfiers that can change the behavior or outcome of dice rolls. Each modifier states which Types Of Dice it can be applied to in parentheses after the modifier name. Rolls can have multiple modifiers applied to a single roll to allow for complex dice expressions.

• B - Basic Roll
• F - Fate/Fudge Roll

Many modifiers compare each die to a target number to decided if the modifier action should be applied. We'll call this a Compare Point or CP for short in the roll modifiers below. A Compare Point consists of an optional compare operation <,=,> and a target number. If the operation is not specified = is assumed and for most modifiers the entire Compare Point can be left off for the default behavior.

• Example Compare Points
• 3 - If the roll is equal to 3
• >2 - If the roll is greater than or equal to 2
• <18 - If the roll is less than or equal to 18

Target Number / Successes (B,F) - CP

Normally when you perform a roll, Roll20 reports back the total value of all the dice rolled, plus any modifiers. Some game systems, though, work by rolling a set of dice versus a target number, and then adding up the total number of successes instead.

• Example Success Checks
• 3d6>3 - Roll 3 d6's and count one success for each roll of 3 or higher
• 10d6<4 - Roll 10 d6's and count one success for each roll of 4 or less

Failures (B,F) - fCP

Some systems build on success checks by also including failures. Failure checks only work when a success check is already being done and each failure subtracts one from the total number of successes.

• Example Failure Checks
• 3d6>3f1 - Roll 3 d6's and count one success for each roll of 3 or higher and one failure for each 1
• 10d6<4f>5 - Roll 10 d6's and count one success for each roll of 4 or less and one failure for each roll of 5 or more

Exploding Dice (B,F) !CP

Exploding dice, also known as "rule of 6" or "rule of 10s" depending on your gaming system, rolls an additional die if the maximum is rolled. If the additional roll is also the maximum number the additional rolls keep on going! The Compare Point can be specified to change the exploding trigger.

• Example Exploding Dice
• 3d6! - Rolls 3d6 and explodes every time a 6 is rolled
• 3d6!>5 - Rolls 3d6 and explodes every time a 5 or 6 is rolled

Compounding Dice (B,F) !!CP

Shadowrun (and some other systems, such as 7th Sea and L5R) use a special style of exploding dice where the the additional rolls for each dice are added together as a single "roll". To do this, just use two exclamation marks instead of one. With the compounding exploding rolls a single roll can be infinitely high! The Compare Point can be specified to change the exploding trigger.

• Example Compounding Dice
• 5d6!! - Rolls 5d6 and compound every time a 6 is rolled
• 5d6!!5 - Rolls 5d6 and compound every time a 5 is rolled, 6's will be treated as a normal roll

Penetrating Dice (B,F) !pCP

HackMaster (and some other systems) use a special style of exploding dice where the additional rolls for each dice have 1 subtracted from the roll. To do this, add a p after the exclamation mark. A die can penetrate multiple times but the modifier is only ever -1 to each additional die.

• Example Compounding Dice
• 5d6!p - Rolls 5d6 and explode with a -1 modifier every time a 6 is rolled
• 5d6!p>5 - Rolls 5d6 and explode with a -1 modifier every time a 5 or higher is rolled.

Keep / Drop Dice (B,F) khN/klN/dhN/dlN

Some game systems ask you to roll a large number of dice, and then either drop a certain number (N) of the lowest rolls, or keep only a certain number (N) of the highest rolls. Roll20 supports this type of roll through the d and k commands, respectively. The optional h/l parameter can either be h to keep or drop the highest N dice or l to keep or drop the lowest N dice. If not specified when keeping rolls the high rolls will be kept and when dropping rolls the low rolls will be dropped.

• Example Keep Rolls
• 8d100k4 - Roll 8 d100's and keep the four largest rolls.
• 8d100kl4 - Roll 8 d100's and keep the four smallest rolls.
• Example Drop Rolls
• 8d100d4 - Roll 8 d100's and drop the four smallest rolls.
• 8d100dh4 - Roll 8 d100's and drop the four largest rolls.

Rerolling Dice (B,F) rCP

Several systems require that certain dice be reroll, for example brutal weapons in D&D 4e require any 1s or 2s to be re-rolled and the orignal die value ignored. The reroll modifier can be specified multiple times to allow rerolling at multiple Compare Points

• Example Rerolls
• 2d10r<2 - Roll 2 d10's and reroll any time a 2 or lower is rolled
• 8d6r - Roll 8 d6's and reroll any time a 1 is rolled
• 8d6r2r4r6 - Roll 8 d6's and reroll any time a 2, 4, or 6 is rolled

Sorting Dice (B,F) sa/sd

You may want to see your results in either ascending or descending order. The sorting modifier does just this. The order parameter is optional and specifies the order to sort with a for ascending and d for descending. Sorting defaults to ascending if order is not specified.

• Example Rerolls
• 8d6s - Roll 8 d6's and sort the results in ascending order
• 8d6sd - Roll 8 d6's and sort the results in descending order

Order of Operations for Modifiers

Modifiers are applied in the following order:

• Exploding, Compounding, Penetrating, Rerolls
• These are applied while the dice are still rolling. imagine that you roll some exploding 6d6 on your table and the instant one of them settles as a 6 another die is rolled
• Keep, Drop, Success, Failure, Sorting
• These are applied after all of the dice have "settled" and all of the result values are known.

Grouped Rolls

Mutliple rolls can be perfomed within a group via curly braces using a comma to seperate the sub-roll expressions {3d6+3d4+5, 2d8+4}. Grouped Rolls have their own set of Group Modifiers which perform actions across the whole group.

Grouped Roll Modifiers

Modfiers that can change the behavior or outcome of grouped rolls. Grouped Rolls can have multiple modifiers applied to a group roll to allow for complex dice expressions.

Keep / Drop khN/klN/dhN/dlN

To apply a keep or drop modifier across multiple types of dice wrap the roll in a group. With a single Sub-Roll in the group the keep/drop operation is applied across all rolls. To choose the best or worse roll expression multiple sub-groups can be used. In this case the keep/drop operation is applied to the final result of each subgroup.

• Single Sub-Roll Keep Example
• {4d6+3d8}k4 - Roll 4 d6's and 3 d8's, out of those 7 dice the highest 4 are kept and summed up.
• Multiple Sub-Roll Drop Example
• {4d6+2d8, 3d20+3, 5d10+1}d1 - Roll each of the three sub-roll expressions and total them up. Drop the sub-roll expression with the lowest total and sum the other two totals as the result.

Target Number / Successes (B,F) - CP

The same concept as when using on Dice Rolls but with different behavor for a group. For a Grouped Roll with a single sub-roll expression the success check is done after the remaining math expressions have been totaled into each roll. Single sub-roll groups are also useful when doing a success check on a roll that has another Compare Point enabled modifer. For a Grouped Roll with a multiple sub-roll expression the success check is applied to the esult of each sub-roll expression.

• Single Sub-Roll Success Example
• {3d20+5}>21 - Roll 3 d20's, for each roll add 5 and then count a success for each result of 21 or more.
• {2d6!}>4 - Roll 2d6 exploding and count a success for each roll of 4 or greater.
• Multiple Sub-Roll Success Example
• {4d6+2d8, 3d20+3, 5d10+1}>40 - Roll each of the three sub-roll expression and total them up. Count one success for each sub-roll total of 40 or more.

Failures (B,F) - fCP

Failure checks on groups work just like success checks.

• Single Sub-Roll Failure Example
• {3d20+5}>21f<10 - Roll 3 d20's, for each roll add 5 and then count a success for each result of 21 or more and count a failure for each result of 10 or less.
• {2d6!}>4f1 - Roll 2d6 exploding and count a success for each roll of 4 or greater and a failure for each roll of 1.
• Multiple Sub-Roll Failure Example
• {4d6+2d8, 3d20+3, 5d10+1}>40f<10 - Roll each of the three sub-roll expression and total them up. Count one success for each sub-roll total of 40 or more and one failure for each sub-roll total of 10 or less.
