Suggestion: Easily apply damage/healing with the D/H keys

[Ampersandrew]

I solved this by making a PC called Dungeon Master and setting it up with damage and heal abilities. That way, the reference in the shortcut XML isn't broken if I remove the entry from the combat log. PCs seem to have a more permanent reference than NPCs.

That's awesome.

Thanks for this, but it's what I did initially. The problem with using an NPC like this, I think, is that when you remove that NPC from the combat tracker, it also breaks the link, so the dice still roll and report to the chat, but it doesn't target because they lose their "source" - it doesn't know who is sending the damage.

I don't bother adding it to the combat tracker. I just drag it from the NPC window that pops up onto the token. That's why I put the pin on the map - so I'm right there with the token when I'm doing it.

Excellent. I'll definitely use that for traps and such. I'll be keeping my Dungeon Master to make group attacks and spells easier. Our sorcerer, for example, has empowered spell and the elemental affinity feat (1's are counted as 2's) and loves to roll her own pretty dice, so distributing spell damage to multiple targets, with independent saves and possible resistances... It's easier with targeting effects.

But I do like the simplicity of your method for single Target damage/effects.

I'm not sure how 1d1+6 didn't become 7.

For some reason, 1d1+X always becomes X. It's a way to code fixed value die rolls. Haven't dug into it too much.

That sounds like a bug to me.

A one sided dice would only ever have a value of one.

Right. When I went to school 1 + 6 was 7.
