Roll is a random value in video games, within a defined range for a specific action. This term is taken from tabletop role-playing games, where players "roll dice" to determine the outcomes of their actions.
In the context of video games, "roll" can affect various aspects of the game.
In many games, a player's attack power can be determined by "roll". If you have a sword that deals between 10 and 20 damage, each attack "rolls a die / chooses a random value within the range" to determine the exact value. In some games, whether a player hits a target may be determined by "roll". In many MMORPGs and "loot-shooter" games, the chance that a certain item drops from a defeated enemy can be determined by "roll". Games like Dota2 and League of Legends are based on the principle of "roll". All attacks, chances, spells, and other actions work on the basis of "roll" (a random value within a defined range).
