Dice roll formula: xd6(d6)

In Mongoose Traveller 2e, a Plasma Gun does 1DD in damage, i.e. 1d6(d6). The result of the first d6 rolled determines the number of d6 in the second roll; the final damage roll could be 1d6, 2d6, 3d6, 4d6, 5d6 or 6d6. Other weapons may do 2DD - 2d6(d6) - and so on.  It would be great if there's a simple formula for this roll, so that I can bang it into the automated script on the character sheet. However, I don't see a way of doing it with the commands/syntax available. Any ideas? 

[[ [[ 1d6 ]]d6 ]] would give you what you need... you can even use queries for dice type or number of dice if variety is needed/expected. Attribute calls can also be substituted for a more dynamic approach: [[ [[ ?{Number of dice|1}d?{Dice type|4|6|8|10|12|20|100} ]]d?{Dice type} ]] [[ [[ @{selected|damage} ]]d@{selected|damagedie} ]] Note that the attributes used in the above example are examples and likely won't translate to the sheet natively.

You can do this with nested inline rolls: [[ [[2d6]]d6 ]] Or /r [[2d6]]d6 or with a Roll Query: [[ [[?{Number if Dice|1|2|3|4|5|6}d6]]d6 ]] Edit: Ninja'd!!! =D

/r [[?{Number}d6]]d6 This should work ;) Edit: third place! >.<
