Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Are the numbers and dice rolls truly random?

This tool uses JavaScript's `Math.random()` function, which produces "pseudo-random" numbers. This means they are generated by a complex algorithm that is deterministic but appears random for all practical purposes. For gaming, contests, and general use, it is more than sufficiently random.

Q2: Can I roll different types of dice at the same time (e.g., 1d6 + 1d8)?

Currently, the tool is designed to roll multiple dice of the same type in a single roll. To roll different types, you can simply perform two separate rolls (one for the d6 and one for the d8) and add the results together.

Q3: Is this tool free and safe to use?

Yes. This tool is completely free to use. All calculations are performed on your own device (client-side), and no data is sent to our servers. It's safe, private, and fast.
