How it works

Parse stable participant rows with signed integer modifiers and dice from d2 through d1000.
Roll each die securely, add the modifier, and sort totals descending.
Resolve exact ties with the selected transparent rule and show all component rolls when requested.

Worked example

A d20 roll of 14 plus modifier 2 displays 16 and is ordered against every other total.

Limits and interpretation

At most 500 participants, 100 lists, 50,000 initial rolls, and two million aggregate rolls including tie rerolls are accepted.
The tool models a simple one-die-plus-modifier convention only, and reroll ties stop after 100 passes.
Game-specific advantage, surprise, phases, and special rules must be handled by players.
