There are many auto dice rollers on the web today, but are any of them actually worth the time? I mean are they actually random and give the results that a real dice would?

Actually computerized random number generators are better than dice. You have to worry about such things as friction, dice deformation, and other nasty physics. In fact I like using my TI 83 for number generation. I just choose its randInt( function and do this: randInt(1,20), which will give me a random number from 1 to 20.

If you like that dice roller, Wizards allows you to download (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/dice/dice.zip) it so you can use it offline. I found the download page and other handy generators here (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=6335230&postcount=3).

thanks, i think that this will be much easier at high levels than roling a truckload of D8's for damage
