Exploding Die question

Hello! I was wondering if there is any way to get the explosive dies to roll 2d6 on a d6 each time you roll a 6, but also show the original roll? Example if you roll 3d6, if you get 6+3+2 to show that first, and then reroll the 6 with another 2d6. And then add together all of the result (excluding the sixes). Thanks in advance!

So, 3d6 rolling 6+3+2 might expand to 6+3+2+ (4+3) ? I don't believe that is possible with the dice syntax.
Yes exactly like that, sad to hear that its not possible, would have been a nice quality of life thing for the game we play at the moment.
Hmm... I wonder what the syntax for "double exploding dice" would look like. "/roll 3d6MichaelBay"?

I'm sure the API guru's could whip up a script that could make your mechanic work but you would have to ask politely in the API forum. Another thing is that the API is a mentor level subscription feature only so I'm not sure if that route is the way you want to go either.
Thanks for the tip Pat. If i get the mentor level sub, does that cover the script to be used by players in my campaign or just me?

if you become a mentor, you would have to load the script in the sandbox outside the game itself (only have to do that once) then everyone inside the game should have the ability to use the commands for that script.
