Need a quick dice macro that I cannot figure out for Colonial Gothic's 2d12 roll under TN. Please help.

Hi, I hope one of you guys can help me with this. I have tried several different methods, but I really need a better start on this because I don't know how to get both outputs from the same die roll. Here's what I need: Colonial Gothic uses the following to determine success: Roll 2d12 under a Target Number Need to know BOTH of the following: a) The actual roll b) the total number of points under or over the Target Number (because this determines damage multiplier or other success factors) Example: Shoot musket against a Redcoat Target number =14 example roll = (8) is shown The difference (6) is shown Thanks! Jay H

the easiest way would probably be [[{2d12}-14]] and that would hardcode the target number into the roll but if your target number changes try this instead: [[{2d12}- ?{target number|14}]] That would give you a query for your target number with the default at 14 which you could set it up as an default number.

[EDIT: Thanks, great start :) Still not showing both original 2d12 roll and difference (just the difference) How do I do show both? Thanks for the help so far. Here's what shows up: Jay H. (GM): rOLLING 3 3 = 3

If you mouse over the roll it will show dice roll and the target number.

What i used is called inline roll [[dice formula]].

Thanks for that answer. Any way to see those results automatically without the mouse-over or is there more detailed scripting needed? Thanks again. jh

Ah, I removed the inline brackets and it shows. :) All this is good practice for me since I"m a noob to this. I'll have to work on cleaning up the output appearance somehow.

As you notice, if you do the /r {2d12}-14 or /r {2d12}- ?{target number|14} you have the actual dice displayed in the chat.
