Shadowrun 4th ed. support

|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
In SR4 you roll a number of d6 (this number is called a dice pool) and count
|
|
how many dice show 5 or 6, the more the better (SR4 p.54-55). You also need to
|
|
count 1's, because if half or more of the dice show 1, you have a *glitch*
|
|
(some bad game effect). Because you don't need to sum roll results, roll dice
|
|
other than d6 or add some fixed modifiers, SR4 dicer can (and should) be
|
|
simpler and easier to use. So you just say 10#sd (where 10 is your dice pool)
|
|
and bot will show the total hits number and/or a glitch message.
|
|
Also you can declare the use of Edge before a roll (SR4 p.67) to use the Rule
|
|
of Six (SR4, p.56), which means rerolling all 6's, potentially increasing the
|
|
total hits number. This mode is used by saying 10#sdx (x stands for 'eXploding
|
|
dice').
|
|
|
|
You can make Extended tests by saying i.e. 10,8#sde. Here 10 is the pool size
|
|
and 8 is the threshold. The output will include the number of passes, resulting
|
|
hit number and, in case of glitches, the pass number of the first glitch.
|
|
|
|
The current version of Shadowrun code will log all the rolled dice values
|
|
(with the DEBUG level), to check the algorithm and for curious players. This
|
|
may be removed in future versions.
