Second, third, .. etc. highest die

Hello, I llok though the threads and via google, perhaps I missed something and some of you can help me. I want to GM a session on roll20, using my own system. In some cases, I need to make roll like this for example: Xd10 --> 1. hightest / 2. hightest / 3. hightest / 4. hightest / 5. hightest / etc. an need to add the 1st and 2nd, 3rd and 4th, and so on. Thanks in advance!

That sounds like mechanics that are beyond what the dice roller can do.&nbsp; You can sort dice low to high, or high to low, but I don't think there is a way to roll X dice, sort them, but only total Y dice without running API scripts (pro subscription perk). If you haven't already looked at it, you might check out the dice reference page.&nbsp; Sorting dice is 3/4 or so of the way down the page. <a href="https://roll20.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037773133-Dice-Reference" rel="nofollow">https://roll20.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037773133-Dice-Reference</a>

You can total a number of dice less than those rolled, using the keep highest operator. If you're rolling 5 d10, say, and want to keep the three highest, use /roll 5d10kh3 You can replace any of the numbers with a query or attribute call. If the number of dice youre rolling, and the number of dice you're keeping, involve calculaion, you can use inline roll brackets to ensure they are calculated properly, like say /roll [[@{attribute} + @{skill}]]d10@{skill}&nbsp;

Totally forgot about the keep highest...&nbsp; I've used it so much for comparisons, I guess in my mind it quit working on plain dice rolls.

If you make it as a roll it shows all of the dice and only the result of the highest.

Patrick said: If you make it as a roll it shows all of the dice and only the result of the highest. That's not what I need. ... I need to add the first two (in this case 6 + 6 = 12) and the second two (2 + 1) dices.

No, there's no way to do that without using the API (a Pro subscriber perk).

Not sure then, I don't think the dice roller can do both calculations.&nbsp; You could do kh2 and then manually do the kl2 from the result.&nbsp; Or two rolls: /roll 4d6khd /roll 4d6kl2 You'd see a bunch of other rolls, but we're not concerned with them.&nbsp; I'm not a master mathematician so I can't say how this affects the laws of probability, but it does give you two summed rolls

Well thank you guys anyway - at least I know what I can and can't do currently!
