Not Sure if Bug or Bad Luck but...

I feel the dice roller is quite "All or nothing", one either rolls very well or very poorly, and sometimes to ludicrous extremees. Like, this one time in a RIFTS game, one of our teammates rolled 7d4 damage, and 6 of those rolls were 1's. And said consistancy repeated itself in the next roll.

The QuantumRoll page of the Roll20 Wiki is definitely worth checking out. QuantumRoll is actually more random than physical dice .

Huh. Im amazed to see it consistently chain low results in that case.

Humans are great for looking for patterns, especially when it adversely affects them... likewise you'll recall times where you seem to get lots of high rolls in a row, what you'll likely have forgotten is the countless times you've had average roll after average roll, that memory just won't stick. Take heart though, you are just plain unlucky rather than being picked on by the computer dice :)
