Multiple d size dice single rolls
Hope the title is not too confusing. Is there a way to set up multiple dice to roll at a time that are different sizes, without adding them to the hotbar?
For information, looking at starting work on a ruleset for Sentinels Comics RPG and it is very fluid in dice rolls. You combine 3 different dice according to what combination of power and quality you choose to use, plus a status die. These usually range from a d6 to a d12, and change combinations from roll to roll. So one roll may be d6/d8/d8 and the next roll could be d6/d0/d12. Also, the total of the dice roll does not usually matter, only the values and min to max sorting. There is not a real set combination for anything that can be done, so the constantly changing combos make using the hotbar cumbersome.
Some sort of set array would be ideal, where 3 columns of selectable dice are set up with checkboxes that would allow you to choose a die in each column then roll the three dice together. But, I am not really that good of a programmer and not sure that can be done in this system.
Any ideas or suggestions?

As part of an action (rolling dice) you put together a LUA table of dice records. You can have many different dice within a single action.
And step by step details on creating an action in FG is covered in this thread: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...ns)-in-CoreRPG Post #3 shows the rRoll.aDice LUA table being constructed - just a single d20 in this example.
Additionally, information on the dice table that is used to store results and display details in the chat window is available here: https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassia...996644567/CommPrivate Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages.

I am not either, but we both obviously have good taste in teams.

There is a Dice Pool extension from ianmward floating around that might help you.
Well it might help Joram - it probably wont help with Trenloe's accent though.
