Installation

Go to your setup page and click on the Add-on Modules Tab.

Hit the button Install Module at the bottom.

Insert the module URL https://github.com/BernhardPosselt/foundryvtt-special-dice-roller/raw/master/module.json and click Install.

After you've launched your game, go to the Game Settings page and click on Manage Modules. Enable the Special Dice Roller app and hit Save Module Settings.

Usage

You can roll a system by starting your message with the following string:

• Legend of the 5 Rings: /l5r
• FFG Star Wars: /sw
• FFG Genesys: /gen
• Vampire the Masquerade: /v5
• HeroQuest: /hq
• HeXXen 1733: /hex
• Warhammer 3rd: /wfrp3
• The One Ring: /tor
• Descent: /desc2
• OVA: /ova

Then supply a dice formula separated with a space. The formula consists of dice letters that are optionally prefixed with a number.

The roll can also contain an optional flavour text by adding a #. Everything behind the first # will be treated as flavour text.

A full roll example would be /l5r rrs or /l5r 2rs.

An example with flavour text would be /l5r rss # comment.

Usage L5R

Roll Legend of the 5 Rings 5th edition dice in the chat window. Auto rolls exploding successes and let's you keep/re-roll selected dice.

Use the /l5r command using the following dice letters:

• r, b: ring
• s, w: skill

You can choose to either keep or re-roll certain dice. To do that, click on the dice to select them and hit either button. Re-rolled dice are removed from the roll and new rolls are attached at the end.

Rolling Dice Programmatically

You can access the dice roller API via the game object:

game.specialDiceRoller.l5r
game.specialDiceRoller.v5
game.specialDiceRoller.genesys
game.specialDiceRoller.starWars
game.specialDiceRoller.heroQuest
game.specialDiceRoller.heXXen
game.specialDiceRoller.warhammer3
game.specialDiceRoller.tor
game.specialDiceRoller.desc2
game.specialDiceRoller.ova

Each roller object has a rollFormula method:

class Roller {
    /**
     * @param fomula essentially the command without the roller prefix (e.g. wwbb instead of /l5r wwbb)
     * @param flavorText? flavor text to display above the roll
     * @return the HTML for the chat window
     */
    rollFormula(formula: string, flavorText?: string): string {
        // etc
    }
}

This method returns the formatted HTML for a roll. You can insert that into the chat log content.
