Die Rolling Macro - Add Polyhedral

1516901052

Edited 1516909183
Running a DCC game and enjoy the using 3d dice.  I have a macro to mange the "funky dice" (e.g. d7, d16, d24, etc.).  I would like some sort of polyhedral to be thrown to the table when rolling one of these non-standard die types.  Is there a command I can add to my macro "and throw 1 or more polyhedrals and not report those results"? *edited for clarity

No, there is no way to get nonstandard 3D dice.
The ask is to roll standard 3d dice when calling a non-standard die type.  I've seen character sheets that dump 3 or 4 polyhedral for a given roll.  Those polyhedrals aren't necessarily associated with the "dice" used for a given roll.  Appreciate you thoughts on the subject.

Only dice that are actually rolled are rolled as 3d dice, and apparently (didn't know this before now myself) only standard dice sizes at that.

You can fake it as always with hidden fake API calls: ! [[?{how many}d20]] D7: [[1d7]] D16: [[1d16]] This will roll x amount of dice in a nice 3d format but only show the results of the d7 and d16 in the chat... of course the dice shown will have no bearing on the result but you'll get the sound and graphic :)
Thanks Ziechael, this is what I was looking for / hoping for. I’ll give it a shot.

Ziechael, many thanks! Your tip worked perfectly for what I was hoping to achieve, throwing some standard polyhedral dice to the VTT for non-standard die types. ! [[1d20+1d4]] d24: [[1d24]] Nets the following:  Thank you, thank you, thank you. . .

Happy to help... also happy to see that I'm not the only one who can't roll dice for toffee, not even digital ones ;)
