They help determine whether [[Player Character|Player Characters]] and monsters are successful at the things they attempt. #### Dice Notation The dice used in [[D&D]] are referred to by the letter *d* followed by the die's number of sides: d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, and d20. >[!example] > A d6 is a six-sided die. When you need to roll dice, the rules tell you how many dice to roll of a certain type, along with any numbers to add or subtract. >[!example] > "3d8 + 5" means you roll three eight-sided dice, add them together, and add 5 to the total.
