Getting Started with Legend Roller

By Arthur D Masters & Tia

Welcome, adventurer! Whether you're a seasoned Dungeon Master or a fresh-faced player embarking on your first campaign, the Legend Roller is engineered to enhance your tabletop gameplay experience.

Introduction

Legend Roller is available on both Android and iOS, bringing the sacred ritual of dice rolling into the digital age while maintaining the excitement and randomness that makes tabletop gaming magical. Built by adventurers who understand the chaos of epic campaigns, our app streamlines dice rolls with intuitive modes and customizable options.

Choose Your Path: Roles & Modes

The app features three distinct modes tailored to different gameplay needs:

Player Mode: Hero of the Realm

Embark as the "Hero of the Realm" with a bold red theme designed for heroic dice settings. This mode is optimized for players who need quick access to their character's most common rolls - attacks, saves, and skill checks.

Key Features:

  • Quick access to character-specific rolls
  • Customizable attack and damage macros
  • Streamlined interface for fast gameplay
  • Red theme for heroic aesthetics

Dungeon Master Mode: Weaver of Fates

Assume the "Weaver of Fates" role with a mystical purple theme tailored for master storytelling. DM Mode provides advanced features for running complex encounters and managing multiple rolls simultaneously.

Key Features:

  • Monster roll templates
  • Multi-target rolling capabilities
  • Advanced modifier management
  • Purple theme for commanding presence

General Dice Roller

Need to quickly settle a dispute or make a simple roll? The General Dice Roller provides instant access to basic dice rolls without detailed configurations.

Dice Types at Your Command

The Legend Roller supports all standard DnD dice types:

  • d4: The pyramid of fate
  • d6: The classic cube
  • d8: The octahedron of destiny
  • d10: For percentiles and tens
  • d12: The dodecahedron of power
  • d20: The icosahedron of legend
  • d100: For the grandest of chances

Customization Features

Modifiers

Apply both global modifiers (affecting all rolls) and per-die modifiers to customize your roll outcomes. Perfect for applying:

  • Ability score bonuses
  • Proficiency bonuses
  • Situational advantages

Dice Management: Drop/Keep Logic

Implement sophisticated drop/keep logic by discarding low or high rolls. This is essential for:

  • Advantage/Disadvantage (roll 2d20, keep highest/lowest)
  • Great Weapon Fighting (reroll 1s and 2s)
  • Custom house rules

Quick Rolls: Your Secret Weapon
