I was actually sort of kidding about the sorting. You might want to make that an option. Some might not want it sorted.

Sorting removed. No option. We'll just leave it at that :)
Thanks for all of the input thus far.

Cool, thanks for these latest additions, I think with them, no we can do almost anything easily.

Oh, but you might want to fix this: [_4d6k3] = (5)5+4+=14

L5R will actually need that kind of logic so the 10s can be manually exploded while benefiting from automatic total of the kept dice. I would also use that feature when rolling SIZ in RuneQuest where generally you want the highest SIZ but you might choose a different die combination in limited circumstances.

Fixed. Thanks for pointing that out.

Looks better: [_4d6k3] = (6+6+4)=16

Hmm, but is there an option to show all the dice with 4d6k3? Like I said, with RQ SIZ, sometimes you want to drop one of the other dice rather than the lowest. Though I suppose then you can just roll [_4d6] and pick the 3 you want and sum them yourself. I don't know if any XdYkZ systems ever need to know the dice that weren't counted.

Thanks, but I'm going to leave it the way it is for now. If it comes up again I'll consider making the change.

No problem, what you've added is huge and for the odd case where I really need to see all the dice for 4d6k3, I'll just roll [_4d6] and do the keep 3 and sum manually. The underscore is major since it allows L5R and Burning Wheel dice pools to be done with a single macro instead of a macro for each die. Great work!
