Roll yer own, demmit!

[Greebo]

Ok - lets put the new die rolling system to the test.

To roll, post your intention first:
"I move to MQ91 and cast Uber Power of the Dogs for Dyslexics on the rabid raging rabbit.
Att: +3 vs Fort
Hit: 9d12+600

Then I'll cast Greebo's Uber Healing word on Bozo the Moron
Restore 3d7 hps.
----

After you post, click the "roll" button.
Enter: To Hit Rabbit or something suitable and put in 1 d 20.
Hit roll again:
Enter: Dmg for hitting rabbit and put in 9 d 12
and you get the idea!

You can only add die rolls to your own posts, btw - and you can't change em later.

And the DMs can see deleted posts, so don't even try it!

I cast Dragon Barf on the 5 kobolds. +5 to hit, 1d8+7 damage and disgusted for 3 rounds.

Bah.. I am glad this was just a test.

For AoE's, you have to roll for each target and then roll one damage.
Any way to get more than one roll to show or do we just have to roll, wait, roll, wait, roll, wait....

I use my wang of fortitude on the buggerbear.

To hit:+4 vs fort
damage:1d10+4

[Asharad]

That is cool.

I'm afraid its roll, wait, roll, wait.

The good news is...the wait was cut from 30 secs to 5. I can cut it lower.

You may also be able to set up the roll, hit it, and then back up, tweak and hit again...
...but yeah it could be better.

[Greebo]

Yeah if you hit 'save roll' then while on the "your roll was made" screen hit backspace, it'll take you right back.

I'll lower the time to 1 sec.

can we get the modifier added in? n dX+y?

Casting a spell
for d8+6 damamge

I like it!

Cannot roll character stats with this yet. Maybe 4d6 and drop the lowest is too complicated for the frequency it will be used.

I'm betting we can figure out some nice upgrades for this if we spend a little time on it yeah.

There's only two key entry points. Atty if you go in the admin cp to the Plugins and Products (near the bottom) and look at the plugin manager, the diceroller section seems to have two key part for the posting:
The editpost_start hook, and the postbit_display_complete hook.

In a perfect world, the dice roll option would be available in Advanced mode like the poll options, before we submit the post. The mod we have works fine for now, though.
