rolling to many dice?

when i fill out my weapon on character sheet for instance 1d4 damage for my rapier and press the roll button, it rolls 2xd20 and 2xd4 does anyone know why. Is there a better way to enter weapons? 

Assuming this is D&D, More then likely this is due to advantage/critical strike settings on the character sheet. Usually there are some options for these, but the default is usually to show 2d20 on the attack roll, then if you have advantage/disadvantage you pick the higher/lower. if not, you pick the roll on the left. I believe the same thing happens for critical damage as well, but i'm not 100% sure on that one.

Hi, ok cool, its the pathfinder system im using. I will have a look to see if i can turn that off, the result in the chat box is always right i think so its just a visual thing that leaves me wondering if the roll is right. Thanks for the reply.

It's also possible that your roll template is rolling the critical damage. All rolls are made in one step, so critical dice are rolled regardless of whether they are used. There is no visual cue in the 3D dice, which of these are the base and which the critical.

ok cheers keith, iv copied a macro for the weapons and put a bar on screen and it rolls ok so il just use that, i dont understand the macros much im just copying them from wiki page and testing them to see what they do. thanks for the reply
