Clicky (http://www.hybridchill.com/misc/dICE.html).

A simple script which can roll dice. Except it's not simple...
  • It can roll any number of dice. (Limited by the JavaScript engine, which I think is about sixteen million.)
    [li]It can roll dice with any number of sides. (Minimum number of two sides, obviously. Maximum: as above.)
    [li]It can apply positive or negative modifiers to any of the sets of dice.
    [li]It shows all results and calculates the grand total.
It will work in Internet Explorer or Mozilla/Firefox, so long as you have JavaScript enabled.

If you find any bugs, or have any ideas for additional features, then please post here.

Eh?


It's main purpose is for roleplaying games (where multi-sided dice are commonly used) but it can be used for anything that requires random numbers...

Yeah, I just gave up thinking and figured that, as it was created due to the WoT RP (or rather, lack of <_<), it should have a WoT name.

Add a feature for discounting the lowest number, highest number, or both.

Would that be lowest/highest from the rolls of each dice (ie: second column), or from the totals (ie: the rows) ?

Say I roll 4d6, get 4, 2, 6, 5. I want to discard the lowest roll, giving a 3d6 total (15, in this case).

Ok, good, because that's easier then the other way. :)
