Pathfinder: Fickle Attack.

In Pathfinder, there's an ability that reads like this: Whenever you roll damage..., you can treat any natural 1s on the damage dice as if they were the highest possible number on those dice. You can select this ability up to three times. The second time you select it, treat 1s and 2s as the highest value. The third time, treat 1s, 2s, and 3s as the highest value. So far, the closest thing I've found is to reroll the lowest dice , but that isn't right. In this example , instead of the three being rolled after, I need to just auto-set the next die to the max possible roll for that die. What options exist for doing something like this?

The only way to truly get the right distribution is with a  Rollable Table .  You would need tables for each die size and each of the levels of the ability.  For example, assuming you were using a d6 in your above examples, you'd have: 2,3,4,5,6(weight 2)  3,4,5,6(weight 3) 4,5,6(weight 4)

That... looks like what I need, thank you! It seems a bit weird, but I'll fiddle around with it and try to get used to it.

Using a good naming convention for your tables will make things easier. Something like 6f1, 6f2, 6f3 for the above would let you write expressions like: [[ 3t[6f2] ]] which seems easy to remember. 

Valeera said: It seems a bit weird, but I'll fiddle around with it and try to get used to it. If you, for whatever reason, find you're wanting something weirder ... here's an adaptation of one of my previous macros : Dice replacement (1 die): [[ {1d?{d|4|6|8|10|12}+?{Tier|1|2|3}, ?{d}+0d0}kl1 ]] i.e. [[ {1d?{d}+?{Tier}, ?{d}+0d0}kl1 ]] i.e. [[ {1d?{d}+?{Tier}, ?{d}+0d0}kl1 ]] (with HTML entities, for Nesting.)

If you like it, save it as an Ability macro. (I don't think the distribution is off, but stats are not my strong suit...) Let me know if you have any questions, of course.

Oh, nice! I don't need to have to change the info every time I roll, though, just once every few sessions or so, so I just took what I currently need and will modify it as that changes:      /r [[ {1d8+1, 8+0d0}kl1 ]] + [[ {1d8+1, 8+0d0}kl1 ]] + [[ {1d8+1, 8+0d0}kl1 ]] + [[ {1d8+1, 8+0d0}kl1 ]] + [[ {1d8+1, 8+0d0}kl1 ]] [5d8; Tier 1] What this code looks like it does is it rolls x pairs of dice, one of each pair always being set to Max , the other being d # (+ tier ). If the result of the rolled die is Max (+ tier ), then just use Max . This all seems intuitively correct, but I've never really done any statistics.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
