Great module!

I'd love to see the ability to place multiple die rolls at once.

Example: 1d20+3, 2d8+4, 1d100

And have all the results displayed.

Review the help tips. If I recall correctly this should work:

1d20+3; 2d8+4; 1d100

Note the semi-colons separating the commands. Let me know if this doesn't work for you.

This does work as you explain, but it's not mentioned in the help section.

Also, when you do multiple die rolls, the notes are repeated for each set of rolls. like this:

testing multiple rolls
I rolled 1d20+4, the result is 8, 4 = 12.
testing multiple rolls
I rolled 3d6+2, the result is 1, 5, 2, 2 = 10.

A minor issue, but one that should probably be corrected when you get around to it.

And thanks again for creating this module! I think my players will love it.

And drop on by hdrpg.com if you feel like running or playing a play-by-forum game.

I'll add the note about it to help and tweak the output templates with the next round of updates. I think there should be a template file in the system if you need to override the format of the message in the meantime in your theme for the site. Unfortunately I have Planewalker and Darkcast eating my time - every time I try running a game on top of that I turn out to be horrible at it. ;)

Hi,
I've added these changes to 6.x-1.6, and 7.x-1.5 - please let me know if the fix works for you.

I'm assuming yes, since I've not heard back in awhile.

I know this issue has been marked as closed, but if I could piggy back off of what Steel Rat was saying....

I can make multiple rolls work, and in my implemenation, the notes are not duplicated, but it'd be nice if I could associate parts of my note with each roll using the semicolon.

For example, if I want to roll a Perception and a Dungeoneering check in the same post, I can enter for the roll:

1d20+9; 1d20+6

which will show up as

I rolled 1d20+9, the result is 3, 9 = 12.
I rolled 1d20+6, the result is 7, 6 = 13.

It'd be nice if I could also enter in the Note field:

Perception; Dungeoneering

so it would now show up as:

Perception
I rolled 1d20+9, the result is 3, 9 = 12.
Dungeoneering
I rolled 1d20+6, the result is 7, 6 = 13.

Another possible implementation would be like what I've seen on a Simple Machines Forum where you can use BB Code to mark off your roll. You wrap [roll][/roll] tags around what you want to roll. I know this might require a whole rewrite of the module, but it'd be so easy to use. Here's an example:

[roll]1d20+9[/roll]

Which will say:

Rolled 1d20+9 : 3 + 9, total 12

You can even specify the roll type

[roll]{Perception}1d20+9[/roll]

Which will say:

Perception 1d20+9 : 3 + 9, total 12

Cheers
