Allow Non-Math Seperators

[HAJ523]

When playing some systems you need individual values for multiple dice at the same time. (Ironsworn for example)

There you might want to have a roll like:

dice: Face Danger 1d6+3 vs 1d10, 1d10

This should result in something like:

Face Danger 7 vs 10, 8

AKA the end user would like to be able to copy the result as a unit and only click the roll button once. (This also allows for setting up single roll attacks in things like 5e.

dice: Battle Axe: 1d20+5 Damage: 1d8+3

Could return with dice details

Battle Axe: 17 [12] Damage: 8 [5]

For extra bonus it could even respect new lines & Spaces.

Battle Axe: 17 [12]
    Damage:  8 [5]

Let me think about this. It would be a little bit complicated and probably require a structural change to the way the lexical parser and dice stack builder works.

Just a note that there is a less that ideal workaround for this by putting your "future roll" into a table that can only return 1 result you can use the nesting feature to make multiple rolls like this at once. You are limited to 1 line however.

Any additional thoughts on this? I'm finding scenarios where this could be really useful as well. My thoughts are something like 5d4<?> would display 1, 2 ,4 ,5, 3.

Right now, I use add "|form" to my rolls and get a result like 1+2+4+4+3=15, which is a bit clunky.

Maybe an MVP first step could be something like: d10, d8, 2d4+4, d2 and have each result be in a CSV output matching the CSV input.

Just a thought.

This seems like it could be saved as in an admonition like "Battle Axe: dice: d20+5' Damage:dice: d8+3" rather than having the die roller have to parse out the non-die related components. But I could see something likedice: d20+3, d8+3` returning 17, 5.

MapTool calls this the "open" syntax, they use e.g. 5d10o (o=open). Their implementation includes an explode (they don't have one that doesn't), but it would be great to have just the die results w/o the explode.

Not sure if this helps or not. https://wiki.rptools.info/index.php/Dice_Expressions (1/2 way down in the General Dice Expressions list).

I don't know if that's an option: Combined with the Templater Plugin you can achieve just that.

Limited implementation of this has been achieve, but evaluating if more is needed. Further may assist with #142.

I'd love to see a method for games that use comparative rolls as well. At it's simplest form it could display the values rolled. An intermediate version might allow you to add modifiers to each die. And an advanced version might show the roll and interpret this. Games Like Ironsworn and Starforged use this mechanic.
