[RPTroll]

Here is the link for the maptool chat functions usable for dice.

Examples

d20 = roll a random number between 1 and 20
2d6 = roll a random number between 2 and 12
10d6d2 = roll 10 random numbers between 1 and 6, dropping the 2 lowest
5d6k3 = roll 5 random numbers between 1 and 6, keeping the highest 3
3d6r2 = roll 3 random numbers between 1 and 6, re-rolling anything lower han a 2 (rerolling 1s)
10d6s4 = roll 10 random numbers between 1 and 6. Count the number of results that meet or exceed 4
max(d8e,d6e) = roll a d8 and d6 exploaded and take the highest of the two

Note: Updated now that you don't need a number in front of the 'd'

Ehrrr. 2d6 is a random number between 2 and 12?

[Phergus]

Well the result is the sum of two random numbers generated between 1 and 6. So the result is generated with random numbers but strictly speaking it isn't a random number between 2 & 12.

That would be 1d11+1

[Jector]

Just checking. I figured as much but had to know for sure. That kind of difference would really muck game balance in a big hurry.

Have these changed much since this posting?

Also I could find no direct link to this on the webpage instruction manual. Should it be there or should this only be accessable from here?

It should be fairly accurate.

Our whole website is pending a rewrite

So if I offered to redo your site, how many rpc would that earn me?

[Cweord]

Trevor,

I think you have just gotten a large bunch of online slaves that will work for rpc . . . . . .

[RPMiller]

I didn't say I would do it. I was just asking what it would be worth.

No idea off hand

[RPTroll]

I took the 0+ and 1 out now that the dice rolls no longer need to start with a number.

I'll dig through the forums and get the hero dice examples up there at some point.

To help you with that here is where you'll find the explosion example:
