I've suspect there are issues when you complete a roll using the autoroller, then attempt rolling a 2nd character. In attempting to reproduce the issue, I identified the trigger to prevent timeout by swapping charisma and power fire while I was in the login screen after completing a character roll:
Anecdotally, I've observed the sound will play that indicates a successful roll using the auto roller but the auto-roller will continue to roll. I've observed this 10+ times in the last few weeks. This could be due to the "cha pow" command being fired during an active roll.
To avoid this, now after completing a successful roll using the autoroller I close mudlet and launch a new mudlet session. I have yet to reproduce the above described issue the 1st time rolling a character in a mudlet session.
