[Script] Weighted Dice: Automated Rollable Table creation with proper statistical distribution for minimum rolls.

Update v0.2 -- Fixed off by one error in setting up the range of the table.

My GM rolls his dice with a minimum, but wants the statistical distribution to be correct. I threw together this script for him to use to create rollable tables for the dice:

!weighted-die 12 8

This creates a rollable table named d12min8 (if it doesn't exist already) with 5 entries:

8 with a weight of 8
9 with a weight of 1
10 with a weight of 1
11 with a weight of 1
12 with a weight of 1

Which can then be rolled as

/r 8t[d12min8]

If you use my scripts, want to contribute, and have the spare bucks to do so, go right ahead. However, please don't feel like you must contribute just to use them! I'd much rather have happy Roll20 users armed with my scripts than people not using them out of some sense of shame. Use them and be happy, completely guilt-free!
