[dice]6[/dice]
[dice=2]6[/dice]
[dice=3]6[/dice]

I think I've got it... I looked at the while loop a little carefully and found it was iterating an extra time, so Mega you were effectively rolling 4d6

Uh... OK.
Drop lowest then?

Megamieuwsel · March 04, 2006, 10:29:47 AM

OK : starting from scratch again:
STR : [dice=3]6[/dice]
DEX : [dice=3]6[/dice]
CON : [dice=3]6[/dice]
INT : [dice=3]6[/dice]
WIS : [dice=3]6[/dice]
CHA : [dice=3]6[/dice]

:confused:
And that is supposed to be playable?
Looks like my neighbour....

Let's give it another try:
STR : [dice=3]6[/dice]
DEX : [dice=3]6[/dice]
CON : [dice=3]6[/dice]
INT : [dice=3]6[/dice]
WIS : [dice=3]6[/dice]
CHA : [dice=3]6[/dice]

Maybe it's post-specific...

Trial#3:
STR : [dice=3]6[/dice]
DEX : [dice=3]6[/dice]
CON : [dice=3]6[/dice]
INT : [dice=3]6[/dice]
WIS : [dice=3]6[/dice]
CHA : [dice=3]6[/dice]

Megamieuwsel · March 04, 2006, 10:44:26 AM

That was even worse , but I sense a pattern...
STR : [dice=3]6[/dice]

DEX : [dice=3]6[/dice]

CON : [dice=3]6[/dice]

INT : [dice=3]6[/dice]
WIS : [dice=3]6[/dice]
CHA : [dice=3]6[/dice]

OK . another bug ; It can't do multiple instants of the same calculation within the same post seperately. Even if you enter them in successive edits , like I did with the above.
Possible to fix this?
It looked , by the previous posts from others , it should be able to...
[edit : I should have my eyes checked : no previous instant of multiple , identical calculations in previous posts.]

That's not a bug that I'm going to be able to fix without heavily rewritting the code. You are only allowed one roll per type per post. I can't think of an easy way around this that also prevents cheating.

Ah!
OK then.
Only matters during the creation of a character after all.
AFAIK there's no such dillemma in any other situation , involving dice.

Pretty much -- though if you're using magic missile, you could have up to 5 missiles, and that would be a bit tedious. But it's one of the few other exceptions.

Personally, if I run anything d20 with stats, I may just let people cheat. I like seeing large numbers on stats.

I don't suppose anyone else is experiencing this, but using Firefox, I get a database error when I click the quote icon of a post that contains dice BBcode. When I click the quote icon of a post that contains only regular text, everything seems to work fine.

Anyone experiencing something similar?

Guest (Deleted) · March 04, 2006, 12:24:20 PM

I developped it under firefox, so the answer would be no - however, I don't use the WYSIWYG editor. Are you?

I am...let me switch my settings and see what that does. Yep, when I make the switch to "Enhanced" I don't have the same problems. Thanks!

You needed to make an intelligence check.

I'll do that for him:
[dice=1]20[/dice]

Not too shabby....

Knightcrawler · March 04, 2006, 03:25:29 PM

Naw.

[dice=3]6[/dice]

The there's his nature -2 penalty to intelligence checks.

Megamieuwsel · March 04, 2006, 03:27:43 PM

But checks are always rolled with a D20.
Penalties are applied after the roll.
