Add more rolling methods

[Kosyne]

I could be wrong, but I believe older version had more than just 'Classic, Standard, and Heroic' dice rolling options.

I personally would like to see 4d6 reroll 1's (pretty sure it used to be in PCGen)

However, I think a better solution might be to allow users to add their own expressions into the dice roller via preferences or similar.

You can have as many as you'd like. I haven't removed any options.

3.5e still has all it's options: ROLLMETHOD:3d6 METHOD:3d6 ROLLMETHOD:4d4 METHOD:4d4 ROLLMETHOD:4d6 drop lowest METHOD:roll(4,6,top(3)) ROLLMETHOD:4d6, reroll 1's METHOD:roll(4,6,reroll(1)) ROLLMETHOD:4d6, reroll 1's, drop the lowest METHOD:roll(4,6,top(3),reroll(1)) ROLLMETHOD:5d6 drop 2 lowest METHOD:roll(5,6,top(3))

[LegacyKing]

And Pathfinder (And society) still has it's options:

ROLLMETHOD:Standard (4d6 drop lowest) METHOD:roll(4,6,top(3)) ROLLMETHOD:Classic (3d6) METHOD:3d6 ROLLMETHOD:Heroic (2d6+6) METHOD:2d6+6

Ah, that must be it, you've tied rolling options to gametypes...

I was wanting one of those 3.5e methods for my pathfinder stuff.

[LegacyKing]

Nothing for the team to handle. Closing

Out of curiosity, what file would these be stored in if I wanted to copy the 3.5e methods into the Pathfinder stuff or add my own methods? For example, my current DM has us roll 5d6, reroll 1s and 2s, and then take the best 3 of those. If I wanted to implement that as a rolling method, is there a way for me to do so?

Miscinfo.lst found in the system/gamemode

#

Dice rolling methods for character creation

# ROLLMETHOD:3d6 METHOD:3d6 ROLLMETHOD:4d4 METHOD:4d4 ROLLMETHOD:4d6 drop lowest METHOD:roll(4,6,top(3)) ROLLMETHOD:4d6, reroll 1's METHOD:roll(4,6,reroll(1)) ROLLMETHOD:4d6, reroll 1's, drop the lowest METHOD:roll(4,6,top(3),reroll(1)) ROLLMETHOD:5d6 drop 2 lowest METHOD:roll(5,6,top(3))

[ColtonBeery]

So, for my case of roll 5d6, reroll 1s and 2s, and then drop two lowest, would this be the correct way to implement it? ROLLMETHOD:5d6, reroll 1's and 2's, drop the lowest 2 METHOD:roll(5,6,top(3),reroll(2))

It seems that simply copy and pasting this into the miscinfo.lst file under System/Gamemodes/Pathfinder results in errors that prevent the creation of new characters. "10:24:21.337 SEVERE Thread-10 GameMode:240 Could not find roll method 'Standard (4d6 drop lowest)' while loading game mode Pathfinder_RPG" I tried renaming "ROLLMETHOD:4d6 drop lowest" to "ROLLMETHOD:Standard (4d6 drop lowest)" but that didn't fix it.
