5e-Bot

A D&D 5e bot for Discord

5e-Bot is free to use. If it helps your table, you can support the project.

Dice rolling

Roll checks, saves, attacks, or damage with `/roll` and standard dice notation.

Initiative tracking

Add combatants, check the order, and move to the next turn right in the channel.

5e SRD search

Find spells, monsters, classes, races, equipment, and quick rules answers.

Keep the game in one place

When combat starts or a rules question comes up, nobody wants to dig through tabs. 5e-Bot keeps the rolls, turn order, and 5e SRD references in the same channel where your group is already playing.

Use `/roll` for the dice, `/in` commands for initiative, and the lookup commands when someone needs a spell, monster, class, or item. For the questions that do not fit a simple lookup, `/query` can help with a quick answer.



FAQ

Is 5e-Bot a D&D bot for Discord or only a dice roller?

It does more than roll dice. You can also track initiative and search the 5e SRD without leaving Discord.

What makes it useful for live sessions?

It keeps the routine parts of play in one channel: rolls, turn order, and the references your group checks most often.

Can I use it as a 5e bot for rules questions?

Yes. Search commands cover the 5e SRD, and `/query` can help when your question needs more than a direct lookup.


Commands

/roll <input>

The command expects a text input in the format:
[number of dice]

d

[dice sides]

+

[modifier].
  • [number of dice]: Specifies how many dice to roll.
  • [dice sides]: Represents the number of sides on the dice.
  • [modifier]: (Optional) A number that's added to the total result of the dice rolls. If multiple modifiers are given, they are all added.

Example

If a user inputs 2d6+3, the command will simulate rolling two 6-sided dice and then add a modifier of 3 to the total.

Command Output

The bot will display each individual dice roll and highlight any critical rolls (when the dice rolls its highest number). It will then provide the combined total of all the dice rolls plus any modifiers.

For our example (2d6+3):

The bot might respond with:
Input: 2d6+3
Roll 1: 4
Roll 2: 6 - CRITICAL
TOTAL = 13

// In case of any errors or incorrect inputs, the bot will notify the user with a "Failed to calculate, try again." message.
