This may seem to be a stupid question, but I'm new here so I'm excused. I see those 'I rolled a d6' things you guys use. How do I access that feature?:D
The forum has a dice function (really just random number generation with modifiers applied) that uses the [dice] tag.
So, if A, B, and C are numbers, [dice=A]B+C[/dice] will roll a B-sided die A times, adding C to the result of each roll. You always need a number and size (A and B), but the modifier (C) is optional.
So, for example, [dice=5]10+3[/dice] turns into:
Dice Roller5 D10s rolled with a +3 modifier
9 + 3
8 + 3
4 + 3
1 + 3
8 + 3
Note: The results are pseudo-random and will not change if I edit the post, but will be different if I roll 5d10 each with +3 again.
Maybe someone here should request the admins/tech to add the die roll fuction as one of the little icons in the reply box.
I doubt they would. Don't get me wrong. I would like to see it there. Maybe. I'd actually rather see a longer list somewheres official of all of that cool stuff you can do on the forums that isn't listed in the stickied guide to posting. I'm sure there's a lot of stuff you can do on the forums in terms of functions that people just generally don't know about.
And I had never seen the ability to include a modifier before. Very cool. I wish there were a way to do "A keep B," like the 7th sea system and the rolling of abilities for D20 in character creation.
Keep in mind, as I found, the die rolls are based largely on post number. If you combine posts, or edit in another one, the die rolls may change.
I'm not sure if this is still the same but, on 'News, if someone edited in a die roll in a post before the post of yours that had a die roll, your result changed.
I'm pretty sure they will - they added the DM usergroup didn't they? The dice roll is used so much in this WP, and I'm sure it isn't too hard to add. Just ask nicely.
I'll ask the admins/techies about it.
While I'm at it, I'll see if I can't get a spoiler tag for the Inn.

You're probably right. There's room for the button and I imagine that you are rolling all of the time. It must get annoying to have to keep it on your clipboard all of the time.
I actually just revisited this thread right now, but I already know how to do the dice thing. LOLZ.
I don't think the minor 'bug' with the changeable results is that much of a big deal. Let people cheat on their dice rolls. I'd feel sad for them, since they're doing something akin to kissing their sisters.
And yes, no incantatrix for you. Or anyone. That class makes puppies cry. Mostly because they are the former Big Bads who have been Baleful Polymorphed into said puppies. By you. Because you're an incantatrix.

Yeah, I don't see her handling a pissing match in any way other than a duel.

I suppose it's true. Though the logistics implied in a human/Great Wyrm Prismatic Dragon pairing makes me shudder.
...Something tells me that even should all arcane casters in the world unite, that the Grease spell would NOT be sufficient.
Testing something here. If it works as I think I'll edit and ask a question.
Dice Roller4 D6s rolled with a +8 modifier
2 + 8
2 + 8
6 + 8
6 + 8
It appears to work better than I thought. Crisis Averted!
Don't roll dice like that, unless you're rolling HD.
You see, if you're say, rolling 2d6 for a greatsword, with +3 damage, it will apply the +3 to both die, which isn't correct. You have to add the bonus later for rolls like that.

I don't care if I was framed for murder if I only got a warning I would let it go.
