To roll a die, use the following command that generates a random number from 1
to the given number of sides:

```bash
echo $((RANDOM % <sides> + 1))
```

```powershell
Get-Random -Minimum 1 -Maximum (<sides> + 1)
```

Replace `<sides>` with the number of sides on the die (e.g., 6 for a standard
die, 20 for a d20).
