Syntax
Basic dice rolls are expressed as XdY where X is the number of dice to roll and Y is the number of sides on each die. If X is omitted, it is assumed to be 1, e.g. d6 is equivalent to 1d6.
Drops are expressed using the letter D, followed optionally by the either the letter H to denote dropping the highest rolls, or the letter L to denote dropping the lowest rolls; followed by a number to denote the number of dice to drop. If H or L is omitted, the lowest rolls will be dropped by default.
Keeps are expressed using the letter K, followed optionally by the either the letter H to denote keeping the highest rolls, or the letter L to denote keeping the lowest rolls; followed by a number to denote the number of dice to keep. If H or L is omitted, the highest rolls will be kept by default.
Arithmetic operations can be used to combine or modify the results rolls. Operator precedence is not respected, the operations are performed from left to right.
Examples
- 2d6K1
Roll 2 6-sided dice and keep the highest roll.
- 4d8DL2
Roll 4 8-sided dice and drop the lowest 2 rolls.
- 2d20KH1 + 4
