Custom Dice Names
Personalized Roll Identification
Name your dice rolls anything you want - from "Flaming Longsword +2" to "Sneak Attack Damage" or "Fireball (5th Level)". Clear names mean instant recognition during intense combat sequences.
• Character-Specific Names: "Thordak's Rage Attack" or "Elara's Healing Touch"
• Spell Tracking: Include spell level in the name for easy reference
• Situation Markers: "Advantage Attack" vs "Normal Attack" for quick selection
• Equipment Tags: "Bow (Sharpshooter)" to remember active feats
Emoji Support
Add visual flair with icons and clear labels for attacks, saves, spells, and skill checks. Quick visual identification at a glance keeps you in the action.
Advanced Modifiers
Global Modifiers
Apply modifiers that affect all your rolls:
• Bless spell: +1d4 to all attack rolls and saves
• Magic items: +1/+2/+3 weapons or armor
• Inspiration: Advantage on chosen rolls
• Exhaustion penalties: -1 to -5 to checks
Per-Die Modifiers
Customize individual roll calculations:
• Attack rolls: STR/DEX + Proficiency
• Damage rolls: STR/DEX (no proficiency)
• Spell attacks: Spell mod + Proficiency
• Skill checks: Ability + Proficiency (if trained)
Stacking Bonuses
Combine multiple modifiers intelligently:

Easily update as your character evolves:
• Level up: Increase proficiency bonus

Flexible Dice Configuration
Number of Dice
Configure exactly how many dice to roll for each action. Perfect for scaling spell damage, sneak attack progression, or managing multiple attacks.
• Single Die: 1d20 for attacks, 1d8 for weapon damage
• Multiple Dice: 3d6 for sneak attack, 8d6 for fireball
• Mixed Pools: 2d8+1d6 for special weapon combos
• Scaling Damage: Easy upcast adjustment for spells
Advantage & Disadvantage
Built-in support for DnD 5e's signature mechanic. Roll 2d20 and automatically keep the higher (advantage) or lower (disadvantage) result. No mental math required.
Drop/Keep Logic
Advanced mechanics like "4d6 drop lowest" for ability scores, "Great Weapon Fighting" rerolls, or "Elven Accuracy" (3d20 keep highest).
Customization Pro Tips
• Start Simple: Set up basic rolls first, then add complexity as needed
• Use Clear Names: "Greatsword +5 (Rage)" is better than "Attack 1"
• Update Regularly: Review modifiers after each level up or equipment change
• Test Before Sessions: Verify all rolls work correctly before game night
• Document Complex Rolls: Note why certain modifiers exist for future reference
• Share Configurations: Help other players set up similar characters
Quick Rolls & Macros
Instant Access to Your Most-Used Rolls
Transform your gameplay with one-tap rolling. Quick Rolls eliminate the tedious setup of repeated actions, letting you focus on strategy and storytelling instead of fumbling with dice calculations mid-combat.
What Are Quick Rolls?
Quick Rolls (macros) are pre-configured dice rolls that execute with a single tap. Set them up once, use them hundreds of times throughout your campaign. They're your character's signature moves, ready at a moment's notice.
Before Quick Rolls:
1. Select d20
2. Add STR modifier (+5)
3. Add proficiency (+3)
4. Add weapon bonus (+1)
5. Roll and calculate
~30 seconds per roll
With Quick Rolls:
1. Tap "Longsword +1"
2. See result instantly

For Real Players & DMs
Built by Tabletop Veterans Who Get It
This isn't just another random number generator coded by someone who's never sat at a gaming table. Legend Roller was designed, developed, and refined by actual Dungeon Masters and players who've survived marathon sessions, TPKs, and the chaos of managing complex encounters. Every feature exists because we needed it ourselves.
Understanding the Table
Player Perspective
We know you need:
• Fast combat rolls when it's your turn
• Quick access to your top 5 actions
• One-handed operation during snack breaks
• Clear results you can announce confidently
• History to verify "Did I already roll that?"
• Updates that don't break mid-campaign
DM Realities
We've been there:
• Frantically rolling for 8 goblins at once
• Forgetting which monster has which modifier
• Needing to re-roll the same encounter next week
• Random table lookups mid-description
• NPC improvisation requiring instant stats
• Managing multiple plot threads and mechanics
Design Decisions Based on Real Play
Why 20 Custom Dice Rows?
Because fighters need main weapon, backup weapon, ranged option, power attack variant, defensive stance, and then damage for each. That's already 10+ configurations.
Why One-Handed Operation?
Your other hand has pizza, character sheet, or is gesturing wildly during roleplay. Two-handed apps don't survive at real tables.
Why Separate Player/DM Modes?
Players need 5-10 reliable rolls. DMs need 50+ variable configurations. One interface can't serve both efficiently.
Features Born from Experience
Pain Points We Solved
Before:
• "Wait, did I add proficiency to that?"
• "Which goblin was this attack for again?"
• "Let me reconfigure this die real quick..."
• "I can't read this in the dark"
• "Did anyone catch what I rolled?"
• Combat takes 2+ hours for 5 rounds
After:
• Modifiers auto-calculate, always correct
• Named rolls with context: "Goblin 3 Attack"
• Quick rolls = tap and done
• Dark mode optimized for game lighting
• History shows every roll clearly
• Same combat: 30-45 minutes
Tested in Real Campaigns
Every feature has survived actual use in weekly games, not just theoretical design sessions.
Continuously Refined
Player feedback from 50,000+ downloads shapes every update and improvement.
Community Driven
Built with input from DMs running Adventurers League, homebrew campaigns, and everything between.
We Understand Your Workflows
Session Prep Flow
DMs typically:
1. Review next session's encounters
2. Set up monster quick rolls
3. Configure random tables
4. Test key NPC rolls
5. Ready trap/environmental damage
Legend Roller: Saves these as reusable templates. Same encounter next month? Your rolls are ready.
Character Level Up Flow
Players need to:
1. Update proficiency bonus
2. Adjust ability score modifiers
3. Add new spell attack rolls
4. Increase class feature damage
5. Update skill check bonuses
Legend Roller: Edit all affected rolls in one maintenance session. Done in 5 minutes.
Stories from Our Own Tables
"We built the app we wished we had when running our first campaign."
The 12-Goblin Encounter
DM needed to roll initiative, attacks, and damage for a dozen enemies. Quick rolls turned a 20-minute slog into a 5-minute encounter. That's when we knew we had to build this properly.
The Forgotten Modifier
Player forgot their Bless bonus for an entire session. Next week, they configured a "Blessed Attack" quick roll. Never forgot again. That's the power of good tools.
Dark Mode by Default
Designed for Dimly Lit Game Rooms
Gaming happens in atmospheric lighting—candles flickering, lamps dimmed, ambiance set for epic storytelling. Your dice roller shouldn't blast everyone's eyes with white screens. Legend Roller embraces the darkness with a beautiful, functional dark interface optimized for low-light environments and extended play sessions.
Why Dark Mode Matters
Eye Strain Reduction
4-hour sessions demand comfort:
• Reduced eye fatigue during marathon games
• Less squinting in atmospheric lighting
• Prevents screen-induced headaches
• Comfortable for players with light sensitivity
• Better sleep after late-night sessions
Atmosphere Preservation
Don't break immersion:
• Bright screens kill carefully crafted mood
• Dark UI blends into your setup
• Supports candlelit dungeon crawls
• Won't illuminate entire room
• Respects your DM's lighting choices
Battery Life Extension
Mobile gaming reality:
• OLED screens use less power with dark pixels
• Sessions last longer on single charge
• Reduces heat generation
• Perfect for convention all-day gaming
• Less dependency on chargers mid-session
Screen Readability
Clarity where it counts:
• High contrast text on dark backgrounds
• Critical numbers pop visually
• Reduces glare in various lighting
• Easy to read at arm's length
• Color-coded elements stay distinct
Thoughtful Dark Design
Not Just "Dark" – Optimized Dark
We didn't just invert colors. Every element was carefully designed for dark mode from the ground up.
Color Palette
• Pure black (#000) backgrounds
• Red accent theme for Player Mode
• Purple mystical theme for DM Mode
• Carefully chosen text contrast ratios
• Accessibility-compliant color choices
Visual Hierarchy
• Critical results: High contrast white
• Roll names: Medium gray
• Modifiers: Subtle color hints
• Borders: Dark red/purple glow
• Backgrounds: Layered depth
UI Elements
• Buttons: Dark with red/purple tint
• Icons: Dice SVGs in theme colors
• Cards: Subtle gradient overlays
• Animations: Smooth, non-jarring
• Transitions: Eye-friendly fades
Player Mode: Heroic Red on Black
Bold red accents represent courage and action. Results pop against deep black.
DM Mode: Mystical Purple on Black
Purple conveys wisdom and control. Perfect for the Weaver of Fates.
Perfect for Every Gaming Environment
Candlelit Sessions
Dark interface won't overpower gentle candlelight. Your phone becomes part of the ambiance.
Late Night Gaming
Those 11pm-3am sessions won't wreck your sleep schedule. Dark mode is gentle on circadian rhythm.
Convention Halls
Variable lighting at cons? Dark mode handles everything from bright halls to dimmed game rooms.
Your Eyes Will Thank You
Gaming should be comfortable, not exhausting. Dark mode isn't optional—it's essential.
Light Mode Reality:
Bright screen in dark room = eye strain, headaches, disrupted sleep, atmosphere breaking, battery drain
Dark Mode Benefits:
Comfortable viewing, extended sessions, preserved ambiance, better battery, healthier eyes
