Product Description:

Xiphoid Dice Roller is a simple application that rolls dice using the D&D "dice string" standard; e.g. "1d4+1", "2d10", "1d%", etc. You can use standard mathematical operations on dice rolls. Dice are represented as follows: "<number of dice>d<number of sides on dice>". There is a special value that can be used in the "number of sides on dice": a percent sign ("%") represents 100. You can also omit the "number of dice"; it defaults to 1.

Notes:

  • The .rb and .xml source files have been generated with REALbasic 5.5.5, and are written for that application.

Known Issues:

  • The buttons on the top of the window are not functional--eventually they will allow the user to add and subtract dice from the dice string without retyping it; e.g., pressing the "d4" button when the current dice string is "2d4+12" will result in "3d4+12". Option-clicking will subtract a die; using the above example, it would be "1d4+12".
  • The popup menu on the botton of the window is also not functional.

Actually, Zarquon, you can use expressions such as "4d6k3" (interpreted as four six-siders, keep three), which allows you do drop the lowest die, and more.

Ugly. Can't drop lowest die for character generation.

The best dice rolling app I've found here, or anywhere else. The ability to make a dice rolling formula such as "1d4/6+5d12" is very nice, something I haven't seen in other comparable apps. Readme says expect bumpy ride, however the app seems to be stable. Only complaints: Some preferences aren't working, but hopefully those come up with new releases. Also the paper tape window needs scroll bars.
