Percentile Dice Roller (d100)
Roll one or more 100-sided (percentile) dice — commonly used for percentage-based tables and checks in tabletop RPGs.
What this generator does
Rolls percentile dice — a single number from 1 to 100, the same spread as a tens die and a units die read together. It is the standard mechanic in percentile-based tabletop systems, where difficulty is expressed as a percentage chance.
How to use this tool
- Choose how many d100 to roll.
- Roll to see each result and the total.
Worked examples
- A roll-under skill check
- A character with a 62% skill succeeds on any roll of 62 or below. Rolling one d100 and reading it against the skill value is the entire check — no modifiers to add first.
Common use cases
- Percentage-based random tables
- Tabletop RPG percentile checks
- Any game needing a 1-100 random number
How this generator works
Rather than simulating a physical tens die and units die as two separate objects, each roll draws a single whole number from 1 to 100 directly from your browser's Web Crypto generator, with the range conversion corrected so every value is exactly as likely as every other — mathematically identical to reading a tens die and a units die together, without needing two dice on screen.
Randomness and fairness
Each d100 is a single draw from 1 to 100 made with your browser's cryptographic random number generator, so all one hundred results are equally likely. A seed swaps in a deterministic, non-cryptographic generator, which reproduces the same rolls from the same word. Reach for it when a table needs to replay a roll, never when the roll is meant to be unpredictable.

Limitations and good to know
- Every value from 1 to 100 is equally likely, so a roll-under target of 35 succeeds 35% of the time. There is no bell curve here, unlike rolling multiple dice and adding them.
- Rolling several d100s at once totals them, which most percentile systems never do — a percentile check reads one roll against a target, so use a count of 1 unless your table's own rule calls for summing several.
