Feature: Dice Roller

v1.131.2

Dice Roller

At the bottom of most pages, there will be this icon . When it is clicked (as the animation shows) it will open a small window which can be used to either roll, or return the results of actions triggered by clicking other elements of the site. (usually triggered by a link on the page that most often look like 2d10 this. (There are some instructions on how to do this within the JSON data in the Renderer Demo should you want to enable this for your own documents - see Homebrew.

Instructions (How to use it)

The roller uses the common format for dice rolling (that being <a>d<X> where <a> is the number of dice rolled <X> number of times. The results of the roll(s) is(are) presented to the roller window with separate entries and then the sum of the rolls are calculated as well.

Commands

<text>: <formula>

Anything before a colon is treated as a label (ie Fireball: 4d6) will result in
fireball: # ([die_result1]+[die_result2]+[die_result3]+[die_result4])

<a>d<X>

Where <a> = number of time to roll and <X> is the number of sides of the die(ce)
or more accurately -- generate a random number between 1 and <X>; <a> number of times.
(ie 3d6 rolls a 6 sided die 3 times; a d20 will return a single resulting random number between 1 and 20

Optional Parameters

Drop highest; dh<x>

The results will drop the highest results <x> number of times
eg. 8d6dh2 would return 8 roll results which removes the 2 highest rolls.

Drop lowest; dl<x>

The results will drop the lowest results <x> number of times
eg. 8d6dl2 would return 8 roll results which removes the 2 lowest rolls.

Keep highest; kh<x>

The results will keep the highest results <x> number of times
eg. 8d6kh2 would return 8 roll results which keeps the 2 highest rolls.

Keep lowest; kl<x>

The results will Keep the lowest results <x> number of times
eg. 8d6kl2 would return 8 roll results which keeps the 2 lowest rolls.

Reroll equal; r<x>

The roll will reroll a die the results in the defined value
eg. 8d6r1 would return at least 8 roll results; rerolling each die result that returns a 1.

Reroll less; r< <x>

The roll will reroll a die the results less than the defined value
eg. 8d6r<2 would return at least 8 roll results; rerolling each die result that returns a value less than 2 (ie a 1).

Reroll less or equal; r<=<x>

The roll will reroll a die the results less or equal to the defined value
eg. 8d6r<=2 would return at least 8 roll results; rerolling each die result that returns a value less or equal to a 2 (ie a 1s, or 2s).

Reroll greater; r> <x>

The roll will reroll a die the results greater than the defined value
eg. 8d6r>5 would return at least 8 roll results; rerolling each die result that returns a value greater than 5 (ie a 6).

Reroll greater or equal; r>=<x>

The roll will reroll a die the results greater than or equal to the defined value
eg. 8d6r>=5 would return at least 8 roll results; rerolling each die result that returns a value greater than or equal to a 5 (ie a 5s, or 6s).

Explode equal; x<x>

Explode less; x<<x>

Explode less than or equal; x<=<x>

Explode greater; x><x>

Explode greater than or equal; x>=<x>

Count Successes equal; cs=<x>

The results of the roll are generated; each roll that meets or exceed the defined value are tabulated
eg. 8d6cs>=5 would return the number of times that the rolls result in successes (ie a 5s, or 6s).

Count Successes less; cs<<x>

The results of the roll are generated; each roll that is less than the defined value are tabulated
eg. 8d6cs<2 would return the number of times that the rolls result in successes (ie a 1).

Count Successes less than or equal; cs<=<x>

The results of the roll are generated; each roll that meets or is less than the defined value are tabulated
eg. 8d6cs<=2 would return the number of times that the rolls result in successes (ie 2s or 1s).

Count Successes Greater; cs><x>

The results of the roll are generated; each roll that exceeds the defined value are tabulated
eg. 8d6cs>=5 would return the number of times that the rolls result in successes (ie 6s).

Count Successes Greater than or equal; cs>=<x>

The results of the roll are generated; each roll that meets or exceed the defined value are tabulated
eg. 8d6cs>=5 would return the number of times that the rolls result in a success (ie a 5s, or 6s).

(avg)<formula>

Returns the average result for the roll formula

/macro <option> <name> <roll_formula>

Optional Parameters

/macro add <name> <roll_formula>

Creates (or updates) a macro designated with <name> parameter, to be equal to <roll_forumula>
eg. /macro add Sneak_attack 2d20+2+2

/macro remove <name>

Removes a macro designated as <name> parameter, if it exists.

/macro list

Lists the current macros

#<macro_name>

Execute a macro with the name.

Controls

⬆️ and ⬇️ scroll up and down the roller's window's contents (this does not work in Firefox)

Shift + Clicking upon a damage ({@damage }) link will generate damage from a critical hit damage roll. (ie. You've actually rolled a critical hit, now want the damage result - +Click on damage to generate double the die value + additional modifiers.
