[1.3v70] Reroll lowest die
Saw the following die roll today during a game which appears to be a bug. A search of this forum did not turn up anything related, so I've posted here.
I apologize for not supplying more information for this report, but I am not programming saavy.

From the wiki(emphasis added): "Roll X dice with Y sides each, rerolling any results lower than L"
I save all my Campaign Files to DropBox. Not only can I access a campaign file from pretty much any OS that will run Maptool(Win,OSX, linux), but each file is versioned, so if something goes crazy wild, I can always roll back to a previous version of the same file.

Re: [1.3v70] Reroll lowest die
Assuming you want to reroll any 1s, the command should be [1d6r2] which means roll a d6 and reroll any result less than a 2. I use the command for several of my warrior attacks, which allow a reroll on any 1 or 2, and it works without issue in build 70.mr0bunghole wrote:Saw the following die roll today during a game which appears to be a bug.

For instance my warriors rolls look something like [2*Weapon1Damage] where Weapon1Damage = {1d12r3}

Re: [1.3v70] Reroll lowest die
I'm not sure, but I'd also guess that the die is re-rolled exactly once, rather than being rolled over and over and over again until the result is higher than the given limit. That means that rolling a one is perfectly possible, but a bit less likely.

Re: [1.3v70] Reroll lowest die
I don't see why that would be the case. I would hope that the implementation of (1d6r2) is simply (1d5+1) since the statistical spread is identical. And it doesn't require a cpu-consuming loop to function.prestidigitator wrote:I'm not sure, but I'd also guess that the die is re-rolled exactly once, rather than being rolled over and over and over again until the result is higher than the given limit.
