I have a blackberry bold 9700 and I was wondering if anyone knew of a good dice roller app that would work with it, and how to find it. Any ideas? Thanks!

I know Droid has 40K assistant. It works great. Don't know about the blackberry though.

Why would you want it? I think people would be very hard pressed to let you use it.

Just for use in casual games between friends. Certainly not for any "official" tournament play or anything like that.

Why not use dice? I'm really curious why anyone would rather use a touch screen or something as opposed to a healthy fistful of dice.

Well, I don't use the 40K assistant for games. I just use it at work testing on my ork army shooting or C&C rolls. My bosses would frown on me bring dice to work.

And simple math/averages/expected outcome doesn't work for you?

You would rather leave it entirely up to chance whether you think a unit is any good?

I suck at math in my head.

Ok.

To comment on people who wouldn't trust an electronic dice roller:

The math would be true to at least .01% meaning that rolling a 1 would truly be at 16.67%.

Unless you use a block of casino grade dice(chessex is far from casino grade) then your odds of a 1 are closer to 25% or something like that. Somewhere on this site is the dice statistics for chessex dice. An electronic RNG would be far more accurate.

Are dice really that expensive? Really?
