Community Forums: Rolling dice without adding them up.

The title says it all. Specifically, I'm trying to roll 2d6 and not have them added together. It's entirely possible I've just missed it in the Dice Reference, but if anyone knows how to do it, I'd love to know. Thanks!

And of course as soon as I post this, my buddy figures out a solution. Go figure. In the words of the Grand Galactic Inquisitor: IGNORE ME!

Out of curiousity, what was the solution? :)

We're looking at putting together a Feng Shui game, and for anyone who doesn't know, it's 2d6; one die is positive and one is negative, take the positive die, subtract the negative and add skill/ability. I was just WAY over-thinking things. I didn't realize it was as simple as /roll {1d6 - 1d6}.

Ahhh, glad you found a solution. You might also want to try inline rolls [[1d6 - 1d6]] (no /roll) command.
