Shorthand notation is used to represent the random numbers generated by die rolls (well - simulated die rolls in NWN2).


 * 1d8 - is a single roll of an eight sided dice.


 * 2d4 - is 2 four sided die rolled and the results added together.

Generally a 1d20 is used for attack rolls, checks and touch attacks

The other die are generally used to calculate damage.
