adding things up..

#1 Post by TecnoLord »

I noticed that it would be handy in a song of ice and fire system, that individual values of the dice would help me in play.
so:
currently, if i do [2d6] i would get one value.
for a Fire and Ice game i need to enter this like: [1d6]+[1d6] instead of [2d6]
Input: [1d6]+[1d6]
Output: [1d6] = 1+[1d6] = 1
and afterwards i need to add it myself.
i would love to see:
[1d6]+[1d6]= a + b = c
where a and b are the values of the roll.
A distinction between [1d6]+[1d6] and [1d6+8]+[1d6] would be nice. like 3+8+5 = 16

Good idea, and it should be doable. What about the same for subtraction? Would that be useful?
Such as: [1d6]-[1d6]

I'll post again when I've got something working. It will take a little longer than the last one, as work has gotten busy again. :(

Hi,
substraction would be usefull, especially for the fire & ice rpg's. they have rules that use d6 up to 8 or 9 dice (or even more??) at once.
that reminds me that it maybe would handy to do something like 1d6x5 to roll 5 times a 1 d6 and see the results as a+b+c+d+e = answer
further enhancements would then be as you original already had with conditional dice. like reroll all 1 or 6 but i admit that my head already starts spinning when i try to imagine how the formulae would have to be ;)

i really like the way this site runs and rolls :-)
