[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 9582499, member: 6796661"] Foundry's support for different dice rolling processes is pretty darn extensive. If you are so inclined, I would be interested if you could provide a few examples of the more idiosyncratic dice-rolling processes. I'd be interesting in seeing if I can make it work only using dice formulae typed into foundry's chat. If you are interested: [URL='https://foundryvtt.com/article/dice/']Basic Dice[/URL] This article covers more complex dice concepts such as parenthetical expressions, evaluating pools of dice, complex data paths in rolls, and the dice rolling API. [URL='https://foundryvtt.com/article/dice-advanced/']Advanced Dice[/URL] This article covers more complex dice concepts such as parenthetical expressions, evaluating pools of dice, complex data paths in rolls, and the dice rolling API. [URL='https://foundryvtt.com/article/dice-modifiers/']Dice Modifiers[/URL] This article covers all of the roll modifiers that Foundry VTT currently offers and how to use them. Generally, the game system will handle most of the dice rolling from character sheets. Also, two of the most common modes are (1) Dice So Nice!, which gives 3D dice graphics and sounds (2) Dice Tray, which adds some buttons for rolling dices and applying modifiers. You can also press a button to bring up a dice calculator which gives a graphical interface to perform more complicated rolls. In my experience, very few people roll dice by entering the dice-rolling formulae in the chat. I mainly engage with dice rolling formulae when writing scripts or when I want to have text in a journal article that I can click on and have the dice rolled. [/QUOTE]
