Macro request to turn a roll of a 1 into a 2

Hello all! I did't see this in the Wiki -sorry if I missed it. How can I make a macro similar to "/roll 2d8" but have it treat 1s as 2s?

[[ 2d8ro<1 ]] Corrected: [[ {1d8ro<1 } + { 1d8ro<1 } ]] if you want to re-roll 1s on EITHER d8. Just [[ 2d8ro<1 ]] if it's reroll once for BOTH d8 combined

Thanks Mark but I don't want to reroll a 1. I want it to change a 1 into a 2. Is this possible by use of a macro? If not, no biggie.

@Mark: Statistically, that's not the same as treating a 2 as a one. 1d8ro&lt;1 means you have the following possible rolls: 234567812345678. That's a 6.66% chance of a 1 and a 13.33% chance for each of the others. 1d8 where 1 is treated as 2 has the following possible values: 22345678. that's a 25% chance of a 2, and a 12.5% chance for each of the others. The way to handle this in Roll20 is by creating a Rollable Table with the values 2345678, where each is weighted as 1, except for 2, which is weighted 2. That's actually precisely why I created this script: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/950142/script-we" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/950142/script-we</a>... Anyway, that will give you the correct statistically distribution of results.

Another option would be something like (note the use of the d1 so that both terms in { } are dice): [[ ({1d8,2d1}kh1) + ({1d8,2d1}kh1) ]] However, I don't like having to duplicate that whole expression ever time I want to add another die. Rollable Tables can be rolled multiple times and you get a nice sum: [[ 8t[d8min2] ]]

Aaron, I see that once I install your script, I could use commands such as "/r 8t[d12min8]". What would be the command for rolling a d6 but treating 1 as 2s? (I didn't see the pattern in your example command to figure that out...)

That script just automated creating the tables. You type this: !weighted-die 8 2 and it would make a table named d8min2, which you'd roll as: /r 2t[d8min2] or [[ 2t[d8min2] ]]

What does the "2t" in the command do? Also, it looks as if that command is rolling a d8 and then subtracting 2 from it. Is this the case?

2 is the number of things to roll, like in 2d8. t tells it to roll a table. t[ ] is the table selector. d8min2 is the table name. So, it's saying "roll 2 times on the table named d8min2" If you go into the decks and tables tab, you should see a table named d8min2, which has 7 rows, the first of which is 2 with a weight of 2, then 3,4,5,6,7,8 each with a weight of 1.

Thank you Aaron. That helps a lot.

No worries! =D
