multiple expressions

[cave_lion]

Hi--I do have two suggestions--not sure if they are possible...

It would be handy to have multiple expressions available for a single roll--for example [4d6c1r1] Roll 4d6; reroll any 1's; keep highest 3 for total

And along with that, it would be nice to be able to add multiples for rolls like this--for example 6 @ [4d6c1r1] or even better:7 @ [4d6c1r1] and keep the highest 6

Great site! Thanks for your efforts.

Hmmm... interesting suggestion. I'd have to play with the algorithms and see if something like your first example can be done. The second example, using the 6@ (or some similar syntax) could probably be done... that one might be easier, but again, I'd have to play with it and see.

Thanks again. Keep the suggestions coming!

I know Invisible Castle allows multiple die rolls separated by a semi-colon. That would have been useful for my playing card macro. At the moment, I have three macros, !d4 (suit), 1d13 (card), 1d26 (possible joker). It would be nice to express all in one macro, thus: 1d4;1d13;1d26.

I like this idea... Let me look into implementing it. No guarantees, but I think it can be done.

It's been a while, and I forgot that you can do something very similar to this. Just put each die roll expression within square brackets, like this: [1d4] [1d13] [1d26]. Remember, you can put literal text in there too. So, you could do this:

suit: [1d4], card: [1d13], possible joker [1d26]. Then, when the roll is made, you can easily tell which result is which.

If ever you want to test the syntax of a macro, or just play around with rolling dice without committing it to the database, you can roll in the 'sandbox' here:

Hopefully this is what you're looking for and will help.

Good luck, and thanks for letting the Unseen Servant help with your online gaming!
