Roll D4 Online
Roll a four-sided die instantly with realistic 3D physics. The D4 is the smallest polyhedral die used in tabletop RPGs — shaped like a tetrahedron, it's commonly used for small damage rolls, healing spells, and random tables.
What is a D4?
A D4 (four-sided die) is a tetrahedron — a solid shape with four triangular faces. Unlike other dice, the D4 doesn't roll easily and tends to land on a flat face with the result shown at the top point. In D&D, it's used for daggers (1d4 damage), magic missile (1d4+1 per dart), and some healing spells.
D4 in Dungeons & Dragons
The D4 appears throughout D&D 5th Edition: dagger and dart damage (1d4), the Bless spell (+1d4 to attacks and saves), Guidance cantrip (+1d4 to ability checks), and Healing Word (1d4 + modifier). Despite being the smallest standard die, it plays a crucial role in gameplay.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the D4 shaped differently from other dice?
The D4 is a tetrahedron (four triangular faces), making it the simplest possible die. Because it has so few faces, it doesn't roll as freely as other dice — which is why a 3D physics simulator is especially satisfying for D4 rolls.
What weapons use a D4 in D&D?
Daggers, darts, clubs, sickles, and light hammers all deal 1d4 damage. The whip also deals 1d4 damage but has reach.
