[Bug] Divsion operator does not work? #86

Closed namtrah closed 2 years ago

namtrah commented 2 years ago

Hi, I was trying to determine a group save using a simple division operator, like:

`dice: 4d20 / 4`

But it returned the following: (4d20 / 4) -> ([17, 4, 18, 16] / 4 -> 1 where 1 is definitely not the average.

Am I doing something wrong or is division not supported? How can one do simple group checks?

I think that this is actually a rounding issue. If it doesn't perfectly divide, it just turns into 1. Would you rather it round?

namtrah commented 2 years ago

Well, the result (17+4+18+16)/ 4 is definitely not 1, even without rounding. (small pointed joke)

That aside. I believe the D&D 5e RAW state that such rolls should be rounded up. So yes, please round.

Or at least write out the value up to the decimal point. You could make an option to "round up/down or leave alone" to manage all types of TTRPG systems.
