d4(int)

Rolls a 4-sided die.

int d4(
    int nNumDice = 1
);

Parameters

nNumDice
The number of dice to roll. (Default: 1, maximum 255)


Description

Returns the total from rolling nNumDice x d4 dice.

If nNumDice is less than 1, then 1 is used. If nNUmDice is over 255 it overflows, making 256 be "0" dice rolled, 257 be 1 die, and so on.


Remarks

An easier way to have dice rolls visible in code, which in D&D comes up a lot.

A d4 (four sided die) has a 25% probability of turning up either 1, 2, 3 or 4.

A single roll is equivalent of running:

Random(4) + 1;
