Where K is the the number of dice rolled = logX(N), X is the range of the die, D is the value of the Kth die and N is the range of distinct altitudes to be defined?Example: lets say you wanted to use a d10 as your die type (to keep it simple for those of us used to base 10 number systems) so X = 10. Lets also say that we want to define the height on a range from (1 to 100) * 5ft. so our N = 100. So K =roundup(log10(100)) = 2. So our display formula is now sum(J=1...2)of(D*(10^J)). So the first die represents the "1s column" and the second die represents the "10s" column.Of course you don't have to use X=10, it works for any number system. Note that this will work for any N, though the display may be capable of expressing values above N due to the integer nature of values.What? Why are you looking at me like that?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
