New BASH Dice Roller

Post by Lindharin »

Hello all,

I want to thank Coyote for his time and assistance in adding a new dice roller option to the forums. We now have a "Bash" button on the post editor that works similar to the original Dice button. However, the new button makes BASH-style rolls with multipliers, dice modifiers, and result modifiers.

To make a BASH roll, the format is:

[ bash="Label" ]3,-2,5[ /bash ] (without the spaces around the brackets). The label is optional. Between the start and end tags, you need to enter the BASH multiplier, dice modifier, and result modifier in that order separated by commas.

Here is what that example of 3,-2,5 will look like:
[bash]3,-2,5 = 24343768 [/bash]

You can ignore any trailing zeroes, so if you have a Brawn of 3 and just want to roll your soak, you can just do [ bash ]3[ / bash ] and it will assume a 0 dice modifier and a 0 result modifier. Similarly, if your roll is a 4 multiplier with a -2 dice modifier, you can do [ bash ]4,-2[ /bash ] and it will assume a 0 result modifier.

Oh, and just to be clear: The original Dice roller is still there, so if you want to roll your own 2d6, or other dice like a d4, d8, etc. you can still do so.

And here is an example with a label:

[bash="Attack"]3 = 1928659722 [/bash]
[bash="Damage"]6 = 1954671617 [/bash]
