Including additional information in dice rolls?

Per --&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Dice_Reference#Including_Additional_Information" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Dice_Reference#Including_Additional_Information</a> /roll 1d20+5[dex_score] -&gt; Should allow me to see "dex_score" when hovering over the +5 in the dice roll summary; it does not /roll 1d20[dex_score] -&gt; DOES show the additional information via tooltip when hovering At least from what I can see, adding additional information to display via something like ... 1d20+x[additional_info] ... doesn't actually show it, but the wiki seems to indicate that it should. &nbsp;Am I doing something wrong? &nbsp;:)

This is working as intended.&nbsp; Quote from the Including Additional Information section (I have bolded the relevant sentance): "If you want to include additional comments before the end of the roll (we call them "inline labels"), use square brackets. For example,&nbsp; /roll 2d20+5[Fire Damage] + 3d6+5[Ice Damage] . When these comments are applied directly after a die roll they show up as tool-tips on the dice: " So to do what you want to do you need to put in:&nbsp; /roll 1d20[dex_score]+5 - Gauss
Got it, dumb Q, make sense now.

Excelsias, that was not a dumb question. I was going to ask about it also but you beat me to it. The only dumb question is the unasked question. I tell my son that all the time.

I have to concur with Metroknight, it wasn't a dumb question. Heck, I had to research it to answer the question so now I know something I didn't before. :) - Gauss
