I have called this post specialized dice roller because I want an app that you can quickly input a number of d6 and will have the ability to add the ''to hit'' number so for example I roll 6 x d6 looking for 5+ to hit, the hits would automatically separate to one side and the misses to the other. At a closer range it maybe 4+ so must be able to input the number of dice and the to hit number easily.

Following on from that, for a game like Tide Of Iron, it would be great if a different colour d6 could be inputted at the same time as the attack dice to represent the save dice, again, 5+ separating from the non saves.

So basically the question is, do you know of such an application? If not does anyone want to take on a challenge to do this?

Probably fine for solo play, but more importantly, will your opponents trust your new dice rolling app?

There are many different dice rolling apps just search d&d dice roller and you will find a few hundred choices. I like the apps that are animated when you roll – but nothing beats my set of real die I have used since 85

I struggled to find one like this – for Kings of War you can easily need to roll 30 dice, looking for 4+.

I have written a Filemaker Go database applet that rolls dice this way – I have only used this on my iPhone, and have no idea if Filemaker go is available on Android.

DieDroid does the first bit

quickly input a number of d6 and will have the ability to add the ''to hit'' number so for example I roll 6 x d6 looking for 5+ to hit, the hits would automatically separate to one side and the misses to the other. At a closer range it maybe 4+ so must be able to input the number of dice and the to hit number easily.

But you'd have to roll the saves seperately.

Thanks chaps,

DieDroid is the closest to what I am after.
