2024 Great Weapon Fighting Style Turning 1s and 2s into 3s

1750379508

Edited 1750456210
I was slamming my head into a wall trying to get the 2024 rules to work on my preferred character sheet the old 2014 version I wanted to make my weapon apply my fighting style without having to make a whole macro so I made this neat thing {1d10+1d3rr<2}kh1 It rolls a 1d10 then rolls a 1d3 and keep rolling until it get a 3 then compares the 1d10 vs 3 and whichever is higher is taken as the damage value as shown here Furthermore if you need something for Greatsword or multiple dice you can use {2d6+2d3rr<2}kh2

Not if you're plugging it into the character sheet it. That's a macro equation which doesn't work because the sheets function differently. ^^^^^^^^^^^ Incorrect

Bee B said: Not if you're plugging it into the character sheet it. That's a macro equation which doesn't work because the sheets function differently. Hi Bee B! Why are you adding it as an equipment mod, instead of just modifying the attack? The formula Jarren posted will work just fine on the 2014 sheet if pasted into the damage field. Though it doesn't show the actual dice rolls, just the result. Equipment mods are used to populate the attack fields on a compendium drop, but once the attack is created, you can change the values manually. And regular dice expressions will work in those fields: &nbsp;
I did add it to the damage field you just cant screenshot all of it because the box is small so I showed off the equipment mod and the weapon damage and the chat roll As for the Jarren formula I wasn't seeing the equation being worked out and I rolled 3 + 4 literally 10+ times in a row so I assumed it didn't work because you can't see the equation and it was giving me the same output for other broken functions I was testing out turns out I was just really unlucky and rolling less than 3 every time XD Yes Jarren's formula works , but I need to see math being done in chat so I won't be using it but anyone else feel free to use Jarren's its cleaner than my Frankenstein's Monster of an equation.

Jarren's method is the standard method. And you can see it by hovering over it. The representation of 3+4 is a bit weird, but once you know what it means you see it working.&nbsp;

Yeah, but as constructed, the hover text only shows the result, not the raw dice roll.

Good point, I had missed that Jarren put it in inline brackets. I would remove the extra inline brackets as they are unnecessary. The 2014 sheet has "hidden" inline brackets as part of that field. That is effectively double inline bracketing it, which is hiding the roll.&nbsp;

Also a good point.
