Dice Pool Probability Calculator

Calculadora gratuita de probabilidad de dados TTRPG. Construye un pool y dificultad objetivo; obtén probabilidad, media y distribución.

Cuándo usarlo

Use when designing custom monsters, homebrew rules, or just sanity-checking your party's odds. Especially valuable for indie game designers balancing core mechanics.

Cómo se compara

AnyDice is the legacy reference and supports far more — but its UI is intimidating. This tool covers 90% of common cases without learning a scripting language.

Enter your values below. Calculations run locally as you type.

Cómo funciona

The probability mass function (PMF) of the sum of N dice is computed by convolution. Modifiers shift the PMF; advantage/disadvantage recomputes from two independent rolls.

Success chance is the cumulative probability of the sum (plus modifier) meeting or exceeding the target.

The distribution chart shows every possible total, with bars above the target highlighted in green.

Preguntas frecuentes

Does it handle advantage/disadvantage?

Yes — roll twice and take highest/lowest. The PMF is recomputed accordingly.

Does it handle exploding dice?

Not yet — it's on the list. Use a standard pool with a slightly larger die size as a rough approximation.

What does the mean of a dice pool tell me?

The mean is the long-run average total you would roll, useful for balancing damage or setting target difficulties. For a single fair die it sits halfway between the lowest and highest face, such as 3.5 on a d6.

Why is a multi-die pool shaped like a bell curve?

Adding several dice together makes middle totals far more likely than extreme highs or lows, because many die combinations produce a middling sum but only one produces the maximum. This clustering is why 3d6 feels more consistent than a single d18.

Ejemplo práctico

Entrada

3d6 + 5 vs target 15, standard roll.

Salida

78.2% success. Mean total: 15.5.

3d6 has mean 10.5, range 3–18; adding +5 gives mean 15.5, range 8–23. To beat 15 you need a base roll ≥ 10, which the cumulative distribution puts at ~78%.

Errores comunes

  • Doesn't support exploding dice yet (planned).
  • Custom dice systems (FUDGE, FATE, dice pools) not directly supported.
  • Advantage with 3d6 is not the same as D&D 5e advantage (which uses 2d20).
