Variable dice with penalty.

I'm using this damage string for psionic powers that do d6+1 per power point invested. [[(?{PowerUsed [1-@{casterlevel}]?|1})d6 + ?{PowerUsed [1-@{casterlevel}]?|1} ]] But if I use Sonic, it's d6-1 per power point invested, with a minimum of 1 on each die. I can make it subtract easily by changing the sign, but any die that comes up 1 shouldn't get the penalty, since it's minimum 1 damage per die. How do I fix it?

You could wrap your roll in a {}kh1 function , e.g. [[ { (?{PowerUsed [1-@{casterlevel}]?|1})d6 - ?{PowerUsed [1-@{casterlevel}]?} , {1} }kh1 ]]

Thanks, but that doesn't appear to work. If you add it up, the rolls were 17, minus 5, for 12. &nbsp;The "1" I rolled shouldn't get a penalty (or needs to automatically become a 2, and then take the penalty). &nbsp;Damage should be 13. Here's the full macro I used for that screenshot. &{template:DnD35StdRoll} {{spellflag=true}} {{name=@{character_name} manifests [Energy Ray (Sonic)]( <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/powers/energyRay.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/powers/energyRay.htm</a> ).}} {{Discipline:= Psychokinesis (Sonic)}} {{Level:= Ardent 1}} {{Display:= Auditory}} {{Manifesting Time:=1 std action}} {{Range:= Close ( [[d1*25+5*floor(@{casterlevel}/2)]] ft)}} {{Effect = Ray}} {{Duration:= Instantaneous}} {{Saving Throw:= None}} {{Power Resist.:= Yes}} {{Caster level check: = [[ 1d20+@{casterlevel}+@{spellpen} ]] vs spell resistance.}} {{compcheck= Conc: [[ {1d20 + [[ @{concentration} ]] }&gt;?{Concentration DC=15+Spell Level or 10+Damage Received|0} ]] }}?{PowerUsed [1-@{casterlevel}]?|1} {{succeedcheck=Success! He manifests a ray of focused sound hitting a Touch AC of [[1d20 +[[@{rangedattackbonus}]]]] for [[ { (?{PowerUsed [1-@{casterlevel}]?|1})d6 - ?{PowerUsed [1-@{casterlevel}]?}, {1} }kh1 ]] sonic damage and using ?{PowerUsed [1-@{casterlevel}]?|1} power points}} {{failcheck=He fails, wasting ?{PowerUsed [1-@{casterlevel}]?|1} power points }}

I just realized the D&D3.5 sheet will return damages less than 1 for the default weapon damage macros as well. &nbsp;Minimum damage in 3.5 is always 1. Is there a way to make /r [[1d4-2]] give possible results of 1,1,1,2 ? I know I can make it reroll 1s and 2s, but that isn't the same. &nbsp;I'd get 1,1,2,2.

You might (with the help of your GM) set up Rollable Tables to handle this. If you choose to do so, your GM would be required to create a separate Rollable Table for each individual combination of die size and power point usage. For example: make /r [[1d4-2]] give possible results of 1,1,1,2 ? You GM could create the following Rollable Table, which emulates this specific roll: Table Item Weight 1 3 2 1 After your GM names the Table (e.g. "4minus2"), saves it, and allows players to roll it, you could use [[ 1t[4minus2] ]] or [[ ?{Number of dice|1}t[4minus2] ]] Alternatively, an Advanced Roll Query could also handle this.

This does most of what I want. /r {{1d6 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 1d6 + {0d1+2} + {0d1+2} +{ 0d1+2} + {0d1+2} +{0d1+2}}k5}-5 But it's hardcoded at 5 dice. &nbsp;Is there a way to get my variable number of dice back in there?

You can add some conditional statements to that roll to be able to choose a number of dice to roll that varies between 1 and the number of rolls you've hardcoded. e.g. [[ { 1d6, [[{-1,?{Dice|1|2|3|4|5}}&gt;2]]d6, [[{-1,?{Dice}}&gt;3]]d6, [[{-1,?{Dice}}&gt;4]]d6, [[{-1,?{Dice}}&gt;5]]d6, {2+0d0}, {[[2*{-1,?{Dice}}&gt;2]]+0d0}, {[[2*{-1,?{Dice}}&gt;3]]+0d0}, {[[2*{-1,?{Dice}}&gt;4]]+0d0}, {[[2*{-1,?{Dice}}&gt;5]]+0d0} }kh?{Dice} - ?{Dice} ]]

That's perfect! &nbsp;Well, it will be for a few levels anyway. &nbsp;When I have to extend it for 20 dice it won't be fun. Thanks a bunch!

Happy rolling!
