Dice rolling question.

Hello! If I type "/roll 3d6k2+5" I can see all of the dice being rolled along with which ones were kept and which ones were dropped.  I also get the total of the roll plus the modifier. Is there a way to do that in a macro that shows the dice in the same way? I've been able to get there part of the way with: &{template:default} {{name=3d6 roll}} {{ Total: [[ [[1d6]] + [[1d6]] + [[1d6]] +?{Modifier|0} ]]            (Dice Rolled $[[0]], $[[1]], $[[2]]) (Modifier ?{Modifier})}} But I haven't figured out a syntax that works if I want to roll 3 dice and keep 2 then add the modifier. Some way to pop all the dice values into a variable that can be used later?  Or am I trying to do something beyond the capabilities of the software? Thanks! Senjak

Never mind me, I'm silly. Time to step away from the keyboard. 3d6 roll total is [[ [[3d6kh2]] + ?{Modifier|0} ]], modifier was ?{Modifier}. $[[0]] <===mouse over for dice rolls And mouse over the $[[0]] output to see the what the three rolls were. But if you try to keep the [[3d6]] the kh2 is going to operate on the total rather than the 3 rolls, and break. I'm assuming it's trivial to solve with the API though.

This will let you keep the 2 highest, using the format you gave above: &{template:default} {{name=3d6 roll}} {{ Total: [[ {[[1d6]], [[1d6]], [[1d6]]}kh2 +?{Modifier|0} ]] (Dice Rolled $[[0]], $[[1]], $[[2]]) (Modifier ?{Modifier})}} This version puts the dice in a better layout, i think: &{template:default} {{name=3d6 roll}} {{ Total= [[ {[[1d6]], [[1d6]], [[1d6]]}kh2 +?{Modifier|0} ]]}} {{Dice Rolled=$[[0]], $[[1]], $[[2]]}} {{Modifier=**?{Modifier}**}}

Well I'm certainly not lacking fibre in my diet! In my defence, I was actually thinking it was the same problem as I had here .... but it's not because it's a fixed number of rolls. Off to the hat buffet! I'm regretting putting that link in now... do I need to leave room for a second hat?

Thank you!
