When you make the roll using the dice on the left side under the dice symbol, and dont click a button on the sheet, such as when doing it with disadvantage/advantage, it wont add anything else to that roll.
If you are having to roll something all the time that is to add a bonus plus to it, its best to click on Manage Custom on the top right of your Action block list, you will see it below Extras in red. It will open the sidebar, just a matter then of adding it for what you want it for. For example, when you select any of the three General/Spell/Attack , it will create a Custom Action #, # = a number you have created. This will be created above in whichever section you chose it. Then its just a matter of going into that Custom Action, expanding it by clicking the arrow on Edit, you can then rename it in there where it has Custom Action, tick the 'Display As Attack' box so it shows on your Attack page, it will always be right at the bottom of the list so make sure its called something you will remember it as. You can also edit the number of dice, dice type and what Ability stat it uses in there.
Something else to add. If you are doing it for a spell, most spells can be added to the Attack list in the same way, just goto your Spell page and click on the spell, you will see the 'Display As Attack' box there as well, just click that and it will add it to your Attack area. Mind, that can get overcrowded if you have a lot of spells.
I am more concerned with the fact that consistently when I play the cumulative rolls for my PC are not averaging 11 (the average of a d20) but are frequently average between 9-10. This is supposedly random but it shouldn't roll that low consistently. In the game today I am still adding up and figuring the total of my rolls and will not later as we are still playing but I can tell that based on my rolls so far including double 1's rolled on an attack with advantage AND another 1 on my attack directly after my total will be substantially below 11.
I am thinking the system maybe average across the board but I do think during certain times the random system is assigning players a bandwidth and saying you role within that range. So is is average across the system but not per individual player. All I can say is based on the numbers I have added up and averaged after game. The roles below average consistently....at least for the D20 role.
The dice are physics based, they do not use an RNG, but rather start from a position with a velocity. As they bounce around your screen they are functioning like real dice do. As for randomness, you will likely see runs as you would need hundreds of thousands of rolls, if not millions for the edges to smooth out.

That is all well and good but with one PC this generator has consistently through 9 levels of playing in one game had an average run of about 9 on a D20. My average roll total for the game we played today is 7.6. So I don't know what the roller is doing but if it goes through runs this run has been 9 levels. It does not make for a fun game. If we have a dice roller it should be on average (at an individual player level) in all games giving an average roll of 11. Some games will occasionally be lower and some will occasionally be higher a consistent 9 average is not average or fun.
Technically the average is 10.5. 9 is still definitely lower than that, though. You might be really unlucky, but it does seem weird that the dice are skewed like that.
Over such small numbers runs such as that are expected. Again, hundreds of thousands, or millions is where you'd see it start to even out. I just did 100d20 and got 1093, which is around where you'd expect. Given that it actually rolls in the browser anything like an extension could interfere with it.

I agree that it does not make sense for 9 to be the average but with this PC it has been (although sometimes like today it has been LOWER). My thinking though is that despite not having an RNG there is no way that this was made without some algorithms showing that it gives players an average roll. My concern is that it is giving average rolls on a systemic level not an individual lever. For example, in that particular game the other players (one in particular) seems to roll higher than average almost like that character is balancing mine. Therefore from a totality perspective if someone examined the rolls for that game/session the overall rolls would probably show as average, because it is examined from a holistic vs. individual perspective. If examined from an individual perspective someone would see that it seems to be tiers of roles. My concern is that my pc has been figured into some low algorithm and it is not changing. As I said today it was double 1's rolling with advantage and then a 1 on the attack immediately following. That is not average.
Is anyone else using Chrome suddenly have issues with the dice roller? It used to work just fine, but now I can't roll in my character sheet at all anymore.
Edit: I was able to fix the issue by playing with the dice settings.
When I roll regular rolls it comes up as custom and doesn't add my bonus if I do the same roll with advantage or disadvantage it will ad dthe bonus's
