This is currently a work in progress. The notes below are mostly for myself, and are what I am aiming for the library to do.
Mostly, this is a test repository for my other two repositories: node-infuse and sake-node.
Eventually this will work; as a nodejs module or a browser loaded file…
Expression | Function | Explanation |
---|---|---|
XdY | Standard | Roll X dice with Y faces and sum the results. |
XdYlN | Low | Roll X dice with Y faces, keep N lowest |
XdYhN | High | Roll X dice with Y faces, keep N highest |
XdYdN | Drop | Roll X dice with Y faces, drop N lowest, and sum the results. |
XdYkN | Keep | Roll X dice with Y faces, keep N highest, and sum the results. |
XdYrN | Reroll | Roll X dice with Y faces, re-roll any dice lower than N, and sum the results |
XdYe | Explode | Roll X dice with Y faces, roll an additional dice with Y faces for each result that rolls Y. Sum the results. |
XdYsN | Success | Roll X dice with Y faces, and count any results equal to or greater than N as a success. |
XdYo | Open | Rol X dice with Y faces, explode any dice that roll Y. Return highest result. |
XdYgN | Glitch | Roll X dice with Y faces. Count the number of dice that came up equal to or lower than N. If the count is equal, or lower than, X display Glitch. If the count is more than half of X display Critical Glitch. |
Note: the expression letters are case in-sensitive. i.e: 3d6 is the same as 3D6, as is 5d6d2 equivalent to 5d6D2, etc…
You can combine the expressions to get different behaviors:
Expression | Function | Explanation |
---|---|---|
XdYesN | Exploding Success | Combines Explode and Success. Additional dice from exploding can generate additional successes. |
Expression | Result |
---|---|
3d6 | [4, 5, 3] = 12 |
5d6l2 | [4, 5, 3, 2, 1] = 2, 1 |
5d6h2 | [3, 2, 4, 4, 1] = 3, 4 |
5d6d2 | [4, 5, 2, 3, 1] = 12 |
5d6k3 | [1, 3, 4, 5, 5] = 14 |
3d10r1 | [7, 8, 4] = 19 |
5d6e | [1, 3, 6, 2, 4, 3] = 19 |
5d6s5 | [1, 4, 5, 6, 3] = 2 |
6d6es5 | [2, 3, 5, 6, 6, 4, 3, 5] = 4 |
3d10o | [7, 10, 6] = 10 |
[1d12 2d8 3d6]k2 | [7, 3, 1, 3, 5, 1] = 12 |
[3d6 2d8]h2 | [3, 1, 5, 5, 7] = 5, 7 |
