How do you roll dice?

[Kyper]

There are two ways to roll dice on the forum.

You can use the dice button which is the 4th button from the right, looks like a D6. The problem with this button is it only posts the right side tag. So you will have to close out the tag yourself.

The best way to roll dice on the forum is to simply type the tags yourself. They are roll inside of [] and /roll inside of [] to close it out. In between the two tags you simply type the number and type of dice you wish to roll. Ex: 3d6.

Ex 2:

Rolled 3d6 : 4, 4, 6, total 14

With this you can roll any number of dice sides so it will work for any game system.

Ex 3:

Rolled 1d100 : 91, total 91

Ex 4:

Rolled 1d20 : 13, total 13

Also you can also add large modifiers to your roll. Ex: D20 games tend to have modifiers as high as +10 or more when you get higher levels.

Ex 5:

Rolled 1d20+10 : 10 + 10, total 20

Normally the dice roller will add the word 'Rolled' in front, but you can can customise this by adding a word or phrase inside curly brackets {}. For example:

Freezing 1d10 : 3, total 3

Fire 1d20 : 6, total 6

You can also get the dice roller to roll multiple by times by adding xnumber:

Rolled 2d6 : 3, 5, total 8
Rolled 2d6 : 2, 4, total 6
Rolled 2d6 : 4, 5, total 9

Lastly, it's difficult to tamper with rolls. If you do you end up with something like this.

Ex 6: This dice roll has been tampered with!
Rolled 1d20+10 : 6 + 10, total 16

There is other functionality that can be done with the die roller. I simply included the most relevant ones here. If you wish to see what else it can do you'll find it's other functionality outlined here: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2032

That's all there is to it.
