Checking a specific roll for successes, fails, and adding it all together

So my dm is strange, and loves to have wierd ways of doing shit. its heavy homebrew.... one weapon has 4d20 chance to hit. but based on number of nat 20s or nat1s it could do different things. I would like to count the number of nat20s and nat1s WITHOUT one canceling the other. So a standard success check wont work. We "COULD" just look at the math for each roll, but trying to avoid that as its going to really slow things down. /r {1d20,1d20,1d20,1d20}>18f<1 that checks the successes of each, but that also doesnt add them together and its a +1 -1 system. is there a way to output successes, fails, and then add them all together?

Not without a custom API script.  The best you can do out-of-the-box is use /r for the roll to make it easier to see the dice.  if you were rolling it as 4d20, you could do 4d20sd to get an ordered list of results.

yea its built into a macro tho and i know the person using it enjoys her macro as flavor text... the more i play this game the harder im finding it to keep everything square lol. is there a way to track successes and add it together? Even if its not fails on top of that. i assume not. im not having much luck.

I can't think of a satisfactory way to do that.

Have a look at the PowerCards-script, espacially at the sections about rollids and conditionals. With this you could do the roll as a normal roll displaying the sum of the rolls, then do the conditionals using a rollid-reference. Plus you can do some pretty flavor text inside a table or pretty frame with caption or something. Have fun. :)

ill see if the gm can add that and look into it.
