Multiple mathematics on roll macros

#1 Post by GreyWolfVT »

Would it be possible and can the roller handle doing more than just one + - or x in a roll macro per die roll like lets say 1d6 +5 x3? as it is currently something of that setting errors out on the roll both real and test.

Is this something anyone would actually use?

One of my characters has a weapon that does double damage and a bonus to damage (i.e., [1d12x2+12]), so he could use it. But it's also easy enough to use [1d12x2]+12 and let the DM do the math.

Come to think of it, I'd use something similar a lot: roll a set of dice N times and show the result for each. It would come up most often when rolling monster HD. Suppose I have a dozen 2-HD monsters coming in a random encounter. I can roll that as:

Roll 1: [2d8][2d8][2d8][2d8][2d8][2d8]
Roll 2: [2d8][2d8][2d8][2d8][2d8][2d8]

But it would be really cool if I could get use something like:

[2d8x2*12]

and get a list of 12 2d8 results. But that might push the limits of how many dice we can roll (and record in the database) in one macro.
