Multiple modifiers in the dice roller

[Zhym]

Sorry if this has been asked, but how hard would it be to modify the dice roller to accept multiple modifiers?

I just generated a character with a sword that has a damage bonus and does double damage against giants. If he hits, the damage is 1d12x2+10 (awww yeah). The dice roller will only accept one modifier, so I set up a macro like "Damage: [1d12x2]+10", which gives results like this:

Damage: [1d12x2] = 5x2 = 10+10

That's an easy enough workaround if you know what's going on (the +10 suddenly appearing at the end might be confusing if you don't know why it's there), but it would also be cool if the dice roller could handle this situation natively.

I imagine that the difficulty would depend on whether the order of operations is always set by rule. In OSRIC, at least, when you get both a damage bonus and a damage multiplier, the multiplication happens first then the bonus is added. Are there any situations in ?D&D or its kin where addition would happen first then multiplication? There's probably a fair difference between getting the roller to recognize [XdYxN+Z] and getting it to recognize arbitrary orders of operation using parentheses.

Thanks!

You bring up a good suggestion. I even thought about this when originally developing the dice roller. I chose to leave the functionality out for the reason you describe. I thought of doing the modifiers simply left to right (eschewing the usual order of operations). I also chose to leave it out because as far as I was able to tell, the use of two modifiers in a roll seemed to be very rare. But, as your example shows, you hit on a time when it would be used.

I'd have to say that in the immediate, keep doing it the way you are. In the future (whether near future or not, I cannot say) I can take another look at doing this and see if it can be implemented.
