Dice Bag Tab

The Dice Bag allows you to enter an expression in standard format and calculates a random value.
Examples of allowed expressions include:
- 1d10 - Number generated between 1 and 10 (simulates 1 roll of a 10 sided dice).
- 2d10 - Number generated between 2 and 20 (simulates 2 rolls of a 10 sided dice).
- 1d10+1 - Number generated between 2 and 11 (simulates 1 roll of a 10 sided dice plus 1).
- 1d10-1 - Number generated between 0 and 9 (simulates 1 roll of a 10 sided dice minus 1).
- 1d10*5 - Number generated between 5 and 50 (simulates 1 roll of a 10 sided dice multiplied by 5).
- 1d10/2 - Number generated between 1 and 5 (simulates 1 roll of a 10 sided dice divided by 2).
- 1d3+1d4 - Number generated between 2 and 7 (simulates 1 roll of a 3 sided dice plus one roll of a 4 sided dice).
- (1d4)d6 - Number generated between 1 and 24 (simulates 1 roll of a 4 sided dice and then a roll of a number of six sided dice equal to the result of the first roll).
Notes:
- Output is always an integer.
- The Dice Bag window can be expanded to show more complex expressions.
- Spaces are ignored.
- Maximum dice size is 100,000,000,000. GMGen & PCGen will hang if this is exceeded.
- Standard Mathematical rules apply so brackets () can be used to control order of calculation.
- The Dice Bag can also be used as a calculator. Most expressions work when entered into the Roll Expr: field.
- Really complicated dice rolls can be computed, for example (1d6)d8 will roll a d6 and then roll that many d8's and add them up.
Use:
When first activated the Dice Bag Tab displays one blank Dice Bag window.
You can create a new Dice Bag window by selecting New from the File menu.
To create permanent Dice rolling sets click the Edit button which will bring you into edit mode.
Double click a blank space below the Dice Expression pane to add Dice Expressions.
Use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to change the order of your Expressions.

When you click the Stop Editing Button your custom Dice Expressions
will appear as buttons on the bottom of the Dice Bag window.

To save your custom Dice Expressions choose Save from the File menu and give your Dice Bag a name,
the name will appear in the top left corner of the window.
You can then close the Dice Bag and open it at any time in the future by choosing Open from the File menu.
You may have more then one Dice Bag open at a time.
