Roll a d4 online

The d4 is the smallest die in a role-playing set: a little pyramid with four triangular faces. Here it is ready to roll. Tap it, press Roll or hit the Space bar, and you get 1, 2, 3 or 4, each with a 25% chance. The average roll is 2.5.

What the d4 rolls in tabletop games

Light weapons. In Dungeons & Dragons fifth edition, a dagger, a club and a sling deal 1d4 damage.
Magic missile. Each dart deals 1d4 + 1, and the spell fires three darts at first level.
Healing potions. A standard potion of healing restores 2d4 + 2 hit points. Tap “one die”, choose 2, roll and add 2.
Small bonuses. The bless and guidance spells add 1d4 to a roll, a small boost that often makes the difference.

Reading a real d4

A real d4 has no face on top, because it lands on a face and points a corner at the ceiling. Depending on how it is printed, the result is either the number at the top corner, repeated on all three visible faces, or the number along the bottom edges. New players often read the wrong one. On screen, the result is printed in the middle of the die, and the total appears above it.

The d4 has another reputation: with its sharp points, it is the die nobody wants to step on barefoot. The on-screen version is safer.

Outside games, a d4 is simply a fair way to choose among four: four players, four answers, four seasons. The 1 to 4 number page gives the same odds without the die.
