A /roll command.
I would really love a built in toggleable /roll function that would do a quick 1d20 or 1d6 or even one that will do advance or custom rolls too, sans a bot doing it for you. I know it could help with certain role play and other social activities that are mainlined through Discord.

That this is not a part of the chat function, on DISCORD of all places, which markets itself TO GAMERS is absolutely disgusting. Particularly after it has been SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED for so long.

How is this still not a thing?

Adding my fist-full of dollahz.
Its about time we get a /roll
Yes yes. I know about bots. Even used them.
But as many above have said... having it innate, to use in DMs etc would be great.The last two years, we've had to have a g-chat/hangouts open on the side to do this.
Silly that we can't just do it in discord....

Are these forum really useful or relevant to the Discord team? Or do they exist just as a form of wasteland for customer/user ideas to go and die?
4 years and still no feedback from the team, for something as simple, quick and useful as a /roll command.
GIVE US THAT DAMN COMMAND ALREADY!

5 years and still no /roll
I don't really know of any other chat service that doesn't have it.
It is really useful when one wants a random number without bias nor cheating.
But I suspect that Discord can't easily implement this command in practice for similar reasons to why the “/me” command is semi broken.
Effectively speaking, the resulting text is no different than any other message sent by a user, and only formatting is the difference. As an example, /me adds an underscore before and after the message to make it italic, however that breaks in practice since Discord's formatting rules can't do italics across
new line characters, here the ad hoc solution were to forbid new line characters when using the /me command, great fix… (Also, a single underscore to mark italics is really fun at times.)
So I suspect that a /roll command from Discord's perspective would likewise be a client side formatting thing spitting out a string of text that the user can then edit later on. Or clever users can just modify the client side code to roll whatever they desire, defeating the whole merit behind a /roll command, especially since the really lazy users would just format their message to look like the real deal, just like one can format text to look like one used /me despite not using it.
In the end, I can see some legitimate reason why Discord wants to distance themselves from implementing this. But at the same time, all other chat services has a /roll command usually following the format of /roll ndx where “n” is the number of dice, and “x” is the sides on the dice. And where the output often is the sum of the dice being rolled. (though outputting the value of each individual dice is oftentimes highly desired. So /roll 3d6 could give: “3d6: 4, 1, 6 = 11”)
It wouldn't be hard for discord to handle it like they handle /ban, /kick, /nick, etc, ie sending an actual command to the server and have the server take appropriate action. In this case return a string with one or more random numbers. Either Wumpus can join the chat and provide the output, or discord can make a new message type containing the string in a way that it clearly indicates that the /roll command were used in such a fashion that everyone else sees such is the case and not just some formatted text the user could have written.2
