It's been put on temporary hold to finish up 5E D&D launch in preparation for Gencon. I plan to return to that development branch after the convention.

Wow, and here I logged in to look for some ideas on how to begin working on my own ideas for a "drop lowest" dice mod. Perhaps I will put this idea on hold for a bit if this is something that is being planned for a future update.

... if this is something that is being planned for a future update.

Any idea if this will wind up making it into the next update?

this wont happen until after the port to Unity is complete - and the port is a massive job...

Sadness... but thankfully I am a patient man...

I'd like to see an easier way to implement explosions on multiple dice "values." As an example in TORG you explode on a 10 or a 20, on a single d20 roll and disconnect on a roll of 1. (a critical failure) IIRC. And keep rolling until a non 10 or 20 value is kept. Basic Keep and Roll. I'd also like to, see the Shadowrun variant mechanic as Dulux-Oz pointed out. Also in Feng Shui you have a true wild die that is rolled along with the regular die - they're both d6's - and one acts as a positive number and the other die acts as a negative (The two dice are usually different colors). This allows rolls to come up negative (from there the value is added - or subtracted from - your ability you're testing which gives your final score). It's an uncommon example, but dice negating each other tends to crop up a lot in modern indie role playing games. Otherwise I think that you've covered most of the standard mechanics.

Cheers,

I am not sure what the port to Unity means (only that it sounds like a big job). But, my question is does anyone know what is the status of this dice feature? It sounds absolutely amazing.

I think it's "in the works."

Was a way ever created to reroll 1s on character creation? Maybe a chat command we can drop in a macro?. We do 4d6 reroll 1 pick 3 highest in our campaigns, and this program would be a better sell to friends if we could do that. Having to use Skype or Hero Labs would leave a bad taste in their mouth after buying the program.

I am still learning the program, and once I have played some, dm some, and got a handle on it, I want to convince my group to use this over roll 20 once we start moving in a little bit.
