d20

Tabletop gaming staple

A d20 is a twenty-sided die, the iconic randomizer of tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons.

Each face shows a number from 1 to 20, making it ideal for systems where outcomes depend on rolling against difficulty thresholds.

The notation follows the pattern d4, d6, d8, d10, d12—the number after "d" indicates the die's sides.

Roll a d20 to see if you hit.
