We can now add generated dice rolls to our posts using the 'Roll' tag (button is sixth from right, beside spoiler button)
Use the xdy method to identify your rolls, where:
x=Number of dice
y=Number of sides
[html][roll]1d6[/roll][/html]
[blockquote]Rolled 1d6 : 4, total 4[/blockquote]
[html][roll]3d12[/roll][/html]
[blockquote]Rolled 3d12 : 8, 3, 5, total 16[/blockquote]
If you have a modifier to your roll you can include it as below.
[html][roll]1d10+2[/roll][/html]
[blockquote]Rolled 1d10+2 : 4 + 2, total 6[/blockquote]
If you want the modifier to apply to the total rolled only:
[html][roll]2d10+2[/roll][/html]
[blockquote]Rolled 2d10+2 : 6, 1 + 2, total 9[/blockquote]
If you want the modifier to apply to each die rolled:
[html][roll]1d10+2x2[/roll][/html]
[blockquote]Rolled 1d10+2 : 5 + 2, total 7
Rolled 1d10+2 : 8 + 2, total 10[/blockquote]
The modifier or purpose of the roll can be included by using curly brackets. This will replace the default 'Rolled' term:
[html][roll]{Athletics}1d20+5[/roll][/html]
[blockquote]Athletics 1d20+5 : 18 + 5, total 23[/blockquote]
[html][roll]{To Hit}1d20+5{Damage}1d8+3[/roll][/html]
[blockquote]To Hit 1d20+5 : 7 + 5, total 12
Damage 1d8+3 : 7 + 3, total 10[/blockquote]
So putting these elements together like:
My Monk has advantage and slashes with his longsword then follows up with an open handed punch
[html][roll]{To Hit}1d20+5x2{Damage}1d8+3[/roll][/html]
[html][roll]{To Hit}1d20+3x2{Damage}1d4+3[/roll][/html]
Would result in:
My Monk has advantage and slashes with his longsword then follows up with an open handed punch
[blockquote]To Hit 1d20+5 : 15 + 5, total 20
To Hit 1d20+5 : 10 + 5, total 15
Damage 1d8+3 : 4 + 3, total 7[/blockquote]
[blockquote]To Hit 1d20+3 : 12 + 3, total 15
To Hit 1d20+3 : 20 + 3, total 23
Damage 1d4+3 : 3 + 3, total 6[/blockquote]
There are a couple of other features:
Reroll results that are not greater than or less than a certain value:
Greater [html][roll]3d20^10[/roll][/html]
[blockquote]Rolled 3d20^10 : 3 3 7 12, 3 9 1 20, 6 10 13, total 45[/blockquote]
Lesser [html][roll]3d20v10[/roll][/html]
[blockquote]Rolled 3d20v10 : 8, 9, 10 1, total 18[/blockquote]
Remove results that are not greater than or less than a certain value:
Greater [html][roll]3d20>10[/roll][/html]
[blockquote]Rolled 3d20>10 : 13, 2, 7, total 13[/blockquote]
Lesser [html][roll]3d20<10[/roll][/html]
[blockquote]Rolled 3d20<10 : 8, 20, 1, total 9[/blockquote]
Note that, although you can use preview to see your roll, the results will be recalculated when you actually post.
