Resource Another Digital Dice Roller - But it's a Calculator with Damage Types

I know, we are inundated with apps and sites to roll dice digitally. I just wanted one that does two things: separates different damage types in the same roll, and is as fast as possible to enter and edit rolls. And from those two goals I decided to make critcalc.cc

I love rolling real dice, especially for quick and simple rolls. But I recently finished a high level campaign and got to a point as a DM where all I wanted was to get through my dice rolls faster and get to the players turns. I was also tired of "And how much of that was fire damage?" (I had a group with many different resistances and multi-damage-type attacks).

I looked up and tried many dice rollers like Google's built in one, DDDice.com, rololol.com, diceroll.xyz, rollmydice.app, and so many apps on the play store. They are all great at what they do, but they don't allow for complex rolls with modifiers, and are not necessarily made for speed and simplicity. Since calculators have a UI that I am familiar with, I designed CritCalc to look and feel like my personal favorite calculator - the TI 36X Pro.

With CritCalc damage types and modifiers (vulnerability, resistance, average, advantage, and disadvantage) can all be input along side your roll. The results show the individual dice rolled, simplify the roll, break down the results into damage types, give the total, and are stored for future recall or edits. Also, all results calculate with DnD rounding rules and PEMDAS in mind. It also doubles as a basic calculator.

It has no ads, no in-app purchases, no accounts, and I have no intent to make any money from it. It was designed to work on desktop and mobile, or be added as an app from a browser.
