Am I missing something or is there a way to use the digital dice outside of the character sheet? I was doing some DM prep yesterday and didn't have dice handy so while looking through the charts in the DMG I wanted to roll on some random charts, but it seems there is no way to access the digital dice when you aren't in a character sheet.

"Orcs are savage raiders and pillagers with stooped postures, low foreheads, and piggish faces with prominent lower canines that resemble tusks." MM p245 (original printing) You don't OWN your books on DDB: WotC can change them any time. What do you think will happen when OneD&D comes out?
IIRC the plan is to make tables rollable, but I don't believe that's in place yet. I think that the character builder, character sheets and the combat tracking in the encounters tool are currently the only things that support digital dice rolls.

Digital dice as a DM can be rolled from the encounter builder and combat tracker. If the encounter is linked to a campaign, the rolls will appear in the game log.

Thanks, Davyd, unfortunately I don't use the encounter builder or combat tracker. Until/unless DDB has a full VTT I'm running my games in Roll20, and use DDB for reference and prep. It would be nice to be able to use the digital dice from anywhere.

It would be nice if the dice trey was a feature on every page for rolling when reading sourcebooks or adventures.
