floor(x/y)d8 does not work

1524209880

I want to roll a number of dice equal to character level divided by 2 rounded down. I tried: [[floor(@{selected|level}/2)d8]] but the result is always the level divided by 2. It does not roll. Is there something wrong, or does it just not work?

Try: [[ [[floor(@{selected|level}/2)]]d8 ]] Although you may run into issues if their level is 1 as 0d8 is pointless, in which case you can use the  kh syntax to ensure at least 1d8 is rolled: [[ [[ {floor(@{selected|level}/2),1}kh1 ]]d8 ]]

Thanks! Not so pointless as it may seem, it's for the channel energy (1d6 + 1d6 for every 2nd caster level after the first.. 1d6 at level 1 and 2, 1d6+1d6 at 3 and 4, 1d6+2d6 at 5 and 6..) Yes, I know I have to substract 1 from the level first, but I wanted to keep it simple for the example here ;)
