Hero Games Stun and Body Rolls with Dice Roller

[gurusql]

In the HERO system, there is the concept of BODY and STUN from a die roll. The STUN is easy in that it is the total of the numbers rolled, the BODY is a sum that is computed from 1's are Zero, 2'-5's are One and 6's are Two (this is on a d6)

Example 1: if 4d6 were rolled and results were 1, 2, 4, 5 then the STUN would be 12 (1+2+4+5) and BODY 3 (0+1+1+1)
Example 2: if 4d6 were rolled and results were 2, 3, 5, 6 then the STUN would be 16 (2+3+5+6) and BODY 5 (1+1+1+2)

The "best" way that I can think to do it is [_4d6] which in the first example would give 1+2+4+5=12 and leave it up to the reader to compute the BODY. Can you think of a better suggestion?

Interesting... how frequently do you think this would be used?

[gurusql]

In hero games every combat, something close to zero outside of hero games - but as a hero fan it pointed to me as a road block to having those games here

Ok. What do you think a good syntax would be for the die macros for this?
I'm thinking it would have to be something like this:
[h4d6]
... where h would obviously mean that you're using the hero system and the results should show the STUN and BODY values.
Does the hero system only use six sided dice?

[gurusql]

Yes that sounds like a great syntax and yes Hero system only uses d6

I would even be ok with [_h4d6] to show the die rolls and the two values.

Thank you for at least considering it
