Perception [roll0] Not sure why it didn't work in the IC thread.

Hod do you decide what to type not knowing what your roll is?

I am a very big fan of http://www.coyotecode.net/roll/ for that reason . Open it in a different tab and voila. It keeps a permanent record of the rolls, and you can change from anonymous to your character name so all rolls can be seen. you can add notes detailing what the roll is (example "third to-hit roll vs the troll") too.

Yep, same here. I've just been using that and copy/pasting the link provided to my posts.

the best thing bout it is you can post after seeing your roll, it gives you a change to roleplay a bad-mediocre-good roll.

I'll second what the others are saying. That's why I use coyotecode. That, and I haven't bothered to learn the code to use the internal roller here, so I couldn't use it if I wanted to. :/

This too is a factor for me...

Ah, but that's easy.

(roll) the dice you need + modifier (/roll)
Except replace brackets with ][

E.g. (roll)1d20+2(/roll)
Which makes [roll0]

Hmmm

[roll]1d8+2[/roll]

but what happens if I edit my post?
edit: never mind that, what's wrong with my synthax?

 

[JustinCase]

Can't add or edit a roll when editing a post. I guess to prevent people from altering their rolls when they don't like the results.

Thanks guys. The coding is easy enough, no harder than posting a picture in thread.

It would be nice to be able to see the roll, not because you would know if you succeeded or not but for example in another game I rolled... A 2 I think, on a perception check for which I described my character searching for something (Funny enough also in the woods). Then jokingly in the OOC thread I posted that my character saw a pretty butterfly and got distracted.
