So, this is about the Boon and Bane Mechanic in Mongoose Traveller 2e Basically. For my template output in a sheet I want to roll 3d6. From this set of 3d6 I need the sum of the first two dice, the two highest dice and the two lowest dice in 3 different outputs. Is there any way to accomplish this? Right now I'm just rolling an extra D6 and players would need to figure out what they need.

This would require a custom API script. There's no other way to reuse the same dice roll.

You can do part of this with a roll template. You can have one row show the two highest dice, the next row show the first two dice, and the last row show the two lowest dice. But you cant show the totals. So you could set it up the roll something like &{template:threedice} {{dice1 = [[1d6]]}} {{dice2 = [[1d6]]}} {{dice3 = [[1d6]]}} Then in the roll template, make extensive use of the Rollgreater, Rollless etc logic functions, to figure out which die is higehst and lowest, and present them each in their own sections, so you end up with output like: Three Dice roll: Two highest: 4, 6 First 2 rolled: 4, 1 Two Lowest: 1,4 But you cant show the totals of the dice, so it is probably not worth the effort.
