Automatic 3d dice and calculated attributes

Hi, I originally thought that this was something to do with the 5e shaped character sheet, but it looks like it's a broader problem than that. If you use calculated attribute values in an inline roll like this: Roll: [[d20 + @{Bellaluna|stealth}]] ; Roll2: [[d20 + @{Bellaluna|stealth}]] it doesn't work properly with automatic 3d dice rolling. If "Automatically roll 3d dice" is off, you get the expected result - two d20s are rolled and the results filled in to the chat message. If you turn it on, however, you only see 1d20 - and in fact, you only get the last roll of the whole chat message, if there are more. This makes "Automatically roll 3d dice" useless for users of the 5e character sheets, and I would imagine probably quite a lot of others besides... To be clear, this is not a problem with rolling multiple dice in general. If you do: Roll: [[d20]] ; Roll2: [[d20]] you get two 3d dice, irrespective of whether they are rolled automatically or not. Cheers, Lucian
Alright, I tested this out, and it seems with automatic dice, it will only roll 1 dice but will still display both results in chat. I tested this with the 5e sheet and with the same roll you used. Do you see 2 results in chat even though only 1 die rolled.

Yep, it displays both in the chat, it just doesn't show both with the 3d dice, which kind of defeats the point of having the 3d dice! One of the nice things about having 3d dice on is that it obviates the need to have the chat window expanded all the time - for a lot of attack/skill rolls you can click a token macro button and the dice result will make it obvious whether it's a pass/hit without needing to see the full math in the chat window. If it's close, you pop open the chat window and see the gory details, otherwise you can just focus on the map (which is good because some of my players are using small/low res screens.... Cheers, Lucian
Ok, just wanted to make sure we were seeing the same thing before I marked this down as a bug. Thanks!
Ahh.  Nice that someone else is seeing this.  When I joined in August, this worked correctly... then several days later, I was only seeing one or two of the 3D dice being rolled.  Good to know something broke, at least, for my sanity.
