1. What is the DND Calculator?

The DND Calculator helps players and Dungeon Masters calculate various game mechanics in Dungeons & Dragons, including ability modifiers, dice rolls, and final results with modifiers.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses standard D&D 5th edition rules:

Where:

• \( \text{Ability Score} \) — The raw ability score (1-30)
• \( \left\lfloor x \right\rfloor \) — Floor function (round down)

For dice rolls, it simulates rolling the specified number and type of dice, then adds any modifier.

3. Importance of Dice Rolls and Modifiers

Details: Dice rolls and modifiers are fundamental to D&D gameplay, determining success or failure of actions, damage dealt, and many other game outcomes.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your ability score (typically between 3-20), select dice type, number of dice, and any modifier. The calculator will show your ability modifier, individual dice rolls, and final result.
