Dice probability

One fair die with s sides gives each face probability 1/s, and an average of (s + 1)/2. Rolling several dice and adding them makes middle totals likelier: with two D6, 7 occurs 6 ways out of 36 (16.7%), while 2 and 12 occur only once each (2.8%). A D20 hits any number 5% of the time; rolling a natural 20 is 1 in 20.

Worked example

Two six-sided dice

Total 76 of 36 = 16.7%
Total 2 or 121 of 36 = 2.8% each
Total 6 or 85 of 36 = 13.9% each

Tips and common mistakes

  • More dice make results cluster around the average.
  • A D20 has no memory; streaks are normal.
  • 2D6 averages 7; 3D6 averages 10.5.
  • Use custom sides for uncommon dice.
  • Agree on whether to re-roll ties before you start.
