Math question

Alright guys, I have a monk with Martial Arts. I thought I would be able to just alter the spellcasting cantrips leveling code to be able to code it by itself. [[((@{level} + 1) / 6 + 0.5)d1]] <--- works for the levels: 1 from 1-4, 2 from 5-10, 3 from 11-16, 4 from 17-20 (Made this a d1 for testing purposes). I feel like this code below should work, but it is going up to a d5 instead of d4 at level 4. and its still a d5 at level 5 instead of d6. [[1d((((@{level} + 1) / 6 + 0.5) * 2) + 2)]] <--- NEED d4 from 1-4, d6 from 5-10, d8 from 11-16, d10 from 17-20 If someone can please help me here, it would be much appreciated. EDIT: I'm currently using the 5e shaped character page if that makes a difference for you.

1d((((@{level} + 1) / 6 + 0.5) * 2) + 2) is equal to 1d(((@{level} + 1) / 6) * 2 + 3) which is effectively 1d(round((@{level} + 1) / 6) * 2 + 3) As you've experienced, the round() function is difficult to work with, so you'll probably want to use either the ceil() or floor() functions . 1d(ceil((@{level} + 2) / 6) * 2 + 2) or 1d(4 + floor((@{level} + 1) / 6) * 2) should work out for you.

When I do either (or both) of these, I just get an output of 1. Even when I change my level. and with the ceil, why does it have a + 2 on the end that the floor doesnt have EDIT: Seems like it is pulling the whole function down to a 1.

Oops, I forgot that ceil() and floor() functions that are within a computed roll must be nested within an additional set of inline roll brackets... [[ 1d[[ceil((@{level} + 2) / 6) * 2 + 2]] ]] [[ 1d[[floor((@{level} + 1) / 6) * 2 + 4]] ]] i.e. [[ 1d[[4 + floor((@{level} + 1) / 6) * 2]] ]]

Thank you for the continued help and this community is amazing! EDIT: Future reference, they both work.

You're welcome; I'm glad that I could help!
