i take it that the 20 means maximum of 20 right? Just one question though does that start at 0 and go until 20, start at 0 and go until 19, or does it start at 1 and go til 20.

I believe its 1 to 20. Yes that is the maximum.

The command documentation states


This command will return a random number between 0 and the range provided. The integer range will be the highest number you want returned.

It is actual 0 to 20. The easiest way to prove this would be to use dbRND( 0 ), dbRND( 1 ), or any small range and test to see what values are returned. You can check what values are returned using if statements.
