DeathRoller

DeathRoller is a lightweight, user-friendly addon designed to streamline Death Roll games in World of Warcraft Classic Anniversary realms. It provides a clean graphical interface, automatic roll tracking, and optional synchronization between addon users, while remaining fully compatible with players who do not have the addon installed.
