It seems the author is no longer around, but it would be nice to have this functionality in the 2e ruleset, since 4d6 dropping the lowest die in order is the first method of character generation given in the 1e DMG. Is it possible to get this to work with the 2e ruleset?
It already works with the 2e ruleset. Download the extension and open the extension.xml file in notepad or whatever and add the following to the list.
Save your changes and activate the extension in the ruleset and it will workCode:<ruleset>
<name>2E</name>
</ruleset>
Hi all. Has anyone been able to use the code from the extension to create an action to roll multiple dice for damage and keep the highest? Eg /rolld 2d6 1 correctly rolls 2d6 and drops the lowest, but I have been unable to code this as an action. I suspect it is not possible, but would be very happy to be proven wrong!
Hi kerrigaj,
quick and dirty:
Register the script in base.xml with a name of your choosing:
Then you can call it in a script and basically hand over the same string which you would get from typing it in the chat:Code:<script file="scripts/droplowest.lua" name="ActionRolls"/>
Code:function onDoubleClick(x, y)
local nDiceTest = getDatabaseNode().getValue();
local sParams = "/rolld " .. nDiceTest .. "d6 1";
ActionRolls.processRoll(sParams);
return true;
end
just chiming in, still works even in FG unity
Anyone kept this extension updated?
my version is from 2017...
It should still work.
Also its not required under Unity.
Off the top of my head i think under Unity you can just do
/die 4d6k3
and it will work
apologies if I got the syntax wrong...
