Solid circles in dice results
Hi all,
I am wondering what the solid circles are. One appears every now and then amongst the dice results in the chat window.
Thanks.

When I've encountered them they are either:
1. Dice rolls that didn't need to happen 1d1 - so you will see this in loot tables. Maybe this is a function of #2 below...
2. Dice rolls for dice that don't have a graphical representation - 1d17

There are no unhappened rolls or dice without representation. This is, if memory serves me well, separator when you push to distinguish which die was kept.

Maybe a picture would assist.

Circles are used for dice rolls which are of the form [d#] without having a die asset defined in the ruleset/framework which would define a display icon. It's the fallback icon.

In Alien Ruleset the circle icon is used as separator for the kept dice during push. Two examples attached.

I am seeing this when you put in a roll for die other than the d6 and d10. For instance, d8, d12, and d20. The die values are not showing up. I know these dice aren't used in the game, but is there a way to get them to show up in the chat window, in case as a GM I want to roll a pair and get the values? Thought I would ask.
