Mythic D6 Success Threshold

I was playing around with the Mythic D6 character sheet and while the html code sure looks like it is setting a threshold for >3 for successes, when I perform attribute and skill tests it looks like successes are counted based on rolls >=3 (i.e. 3,4,5,6). Anyone else experience this/have suggestions on how to fix?

In roll20 rolls, >3 has the same meaning as >=3. I don't know the sheet or game, so don't know what needs fixing, but if you count successes on 4,5,6, that should be >4 (on roll20).

GiGs said: In roll20 rolls, >3 has the same meaning as >=3. This has always been one of roll20's "oddities".  I'm sure there's a story of how/how this became integrated into the vtt's roller.

I think its just down to the difficulty of coding everything themselves. Whoever first coded the dice roller wasn't able to treat two characters as one, so ">=" wasn't possible but ">" was, and "greater than and equal to" was a lot more common than a simple "greater than" so that's how it was done. That's my theory, anyway.

Hmm even me, a backend developer, could probably make a pull request to fix it;... not sure if that's doable for Publisher-made sheets/..

I've made some bug fixes over the years on official sheets that were not roll20 sheets.  Nothing major and I made sure to include a good description with the pull request explaining what and why I was submitting.  The repo manager at the time allowed it.  Sometimes they contact the sheet's owner to get permission first.  Can't hurt to try and submit. ;-)
Changing it now would break countless existing macros, though, for negligible benefit - there's no meaningful difference between 1d6>=4 and 1d6>3, and it's a quick lesson to learn for anyone starting to write stuff involving the dice roller.
