    @Infidel you can't read the expression help linked in the OP without an Orokos account.

    Good call, I made it a dedicated page instead of being part of the roller window but I forgot about it being behind the auth.

    Will be fixed shortly.

    Geth roll 4dF

    Edit: Just wanted to see what the output looked like. I've been toying with the idea of running a Fate game of some type once my Gamma World and 4E games wrap up. Symbols for these would be cool but obviously aren't even a little bit necessary.

    Could there be a mechanism for a custom roll set? Ex:

    Geth roll 1d3 [player 1, player 2, player 3] for Monster attacks; 1d20+8 for Attack; 2d6+4 for Fire damage;

    E: Intended output would be
    Monster Attacks:
    1d3: 2 [player 2]

    Attack roll, etc as normal

    Did you have something in mind that can't already be handled just by typing things in the "for"?

    I think AD is looking for a way to give a label for each roll outcome, that gets presented instead of the number. Maybe something like:

    Geth roll 1d2 [Heads, Tails] for Kickoff

    that displays "Heads" or "Tails" instead of the number?
  • IcyLiquidIcyLiquid Beep Booper Montreal, QuebecAdministrator, Vanilla Staff vanilla
    @ArbitraryDescriptor

    You can do multiple rolls per post like this:

    Geth roll 1d3 for Monster Attacks
    Geth roll 1d20+8 for Attack
    Geth roll 2d6+4 for Fire damage

    The custom tags are a cool idea I *think*, but I defer to @Infidel on the usefulness factor.

    I can't think of a scenario off hand where it wouldn't be just as easy to declare the output of the roll for the players, and leave it to them to translate 1d3 to a target and respond accordingly. It would just be bonus cool, and seems easy to parse. (Though I appreciate that doesn't mean the roller has a method to accept the custom roll values on the fly)

    Ed: Icy, thanks. Thought the brackets had just messed it up

    Yeah, allowing injection of tags opens things up to spoofing possibly, and I don't see the benefit?

    Geth roll 5c2 for Infidel, IcyLiquid, wildwood, Denada, ArbitraryDescriptor

    Fair enough. That actually works pretty well

    Geth roll 1d5 for The pouch contains: 1 Apple, 2 Orange, 3 Potato, 4-5 DEATH

  • InfidelInfidel It's not Infidel, it's INNNNNFIDELRegistered User regular
    Yep, I think most things can be handled by a description in this regard. The boxed details are internals of the parser and so adding things has to systematic.

    For example, someone asked me why it couldn't have "1 hit" instead of "1" for the result when you roll 4d10h7 (which means "hits 7+") and the answer is "what is 2d20+4d10h7+4c2?"

    It is a numeric stack algorithm, and the details are the core rolls themselves put there explicitly so you know what was internally rolled. It doesn't give much room for flavour and shouldn't have any, imo.

    Keep discussing such things in this thread though, I want to make sure that we cover major uses and that I either make an update or demonstrate how it can be better accomplished.

    :!:

    I guess because I thought it was stripping HTML tags.

    Geth roll 6d3 for <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5018289/uploads/userpics/201/nC1JY2GSZ8UFS.jpg"/&gt; <sub>HTML</sub> <sup>type</sup> <input type="text" value="Garbage"/> <hr /><hr/>?

    Geth roll 1d4 for Feelings :arrow: :rotate: :bz 8->

    e:BR is the exception, it seems. That's cool, especially if you're getting fancy with your description.

    Interesting split on the emoticons, maybe it thought I said :beads ?

    After some consideration, I think that its actually fine. Want line breaks? Break away. Want emotes? Emote away.
    But the rest is strippppped.
