Dice rolls without the sum?

Not sure if this exists yet so I thought I'd ask. A system I'm working with requires a variable number of dice to be rolled, but doesn't care about the total sum of the dice. For instance, a character might want to roll X number of d6s, but what matters is the individual rolled values, not the fact they added up to 13. As far as I can tell, there's no way to have roll20 roll multiple dice at once without having it display the sum, which clogs up the chat when these rolls are made repeatedly. Is it possible to have the chat not display the sum after every roll?
you can roll them all as an in-line roll and mouse over the sum to see the individual dice rolled....
If the system uses a target number mechanic (like White Wolf), you could use the > operator (e.g. 7d6>3) to get the number of successes instead of the total of the rolls (be aware that the > operator actually means >=).

Hello Christopher. At this time, no it can't be done without the API (mentor feature and I remember that someone was working on a script) but Chell and manveti both have good suggestions. If you are curious about more of what you can use for dice rolls take a look here: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Dice_Reference" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Dice_Reference</a>
[[1d20]] | [[1d20]] | [[1d20]] That works.

Not exactly what you want, but you could make a macro for each number of d6's you want to roll 2d6 macro; [[1d6]], [[1d6]] 4d6 macro; [[1d6]], [[1d6]],[[1d6]], [[1d6]] 6d6 macro; [[1d6]], [[1d6]],[[1d6]], [[1d6]],[[1d6]], [[1d6]] etc. Then you just click on the macro for the number of d6's your want. Individual rolls without a sum.

Or what HB said. Too fast for me. lol
Or you can just use an old fashioned /roll xd6 and let it graphically show you what each die was.
