Looking at a recruitment post where stats are best 3 of 4d6 with ones rerolled.
Able to do the 6 rolls for stats, but unable to edit and add rerolls for ones. Second rolling set just shows up as the code to reroll however many d6 but no actual roll.
What, pray tell, am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
To prevent cheating, rolls can't be edited into posts and if they're removed a warning is displayed at the bottom of the post.
You have to post the new rolls in a new post.
Got it.
Thanks. :smallsmile:
Correct, but don't. Roll 5s, and add 1 for each die. Same result, without need to waste posts or run afoul the double post rule.Quote:

While your advice is good, the first bolded part is incorrect. This is an exception where multiple posts in a row are allowed.Quote:

Actually, wouldn't it be easier to [roll]4d5b3[/roll] and then add 3 to the result to get it done all at once?
Correct, but +4 would not work. And he would probably need to roll 6 sets of these (the usual amount for a D&D game). Grey_Wolf_c thought he wanted 3 sets of 4d6 (reroll 1s), when he needs an undisclosed amount of 4d6 (reroll 1s, drop lowest).Quote:

So he should use the [rollv] tag with 4d5, however many times; drop the lowest of those four, and add 1 to each individual number, manually?Quote:

[roll]1d5+1[/roll]
[roll]1d5+1[/roll]
[roll]1d5+1[/roll]
Manually drop lowest and add together.
-> Works because 1 is added per die to make 1-5 into 2-6 and you are manually dropping the lowest.
[rollv]4d5[/rollv]
Manually drop lowest, add together, and add 3.
-> Works because you are manually doing everything, including adding 1 per die to make 1-5 into 2-6.
So that's four, five-sided sice, keeping the best 3, I believe? But doesn't the plus-three add to each roll?Quote:
