If I want to a die or dice with a negative for a damage roll for instance is there anything that I can add to make the result always show as at least a 1? For example rolling 1d4-2 giving me 1, 1, 1, 2 as results instead of -1, 0, 1, 2?

That's funny Zoula, I was thinking about this question last night when I came across someone's macro that had [[1d6-1]]. Of course the simplest solution is to just know that anything less than 1 is equal to 1. Not sure how to do this without API. I heard that API can save the universe... You could use a rollable table where 0, and -1 would equal 1 on the table.

[[{1d4-2, 1d1}kh1]]

Following on this theme, how would you roll multiple dice and turn 1s into 2s? Say, for example, 8d6?

That would require a weighted table to mimic the odds.

or maybe use just: /r 1d4r<2 -2 works inline as well: [[1d4r<2 -2]]
