feature request: heroPoint roll

It would be great to have a hero point reroll. The attack could be 10+1d10 or you could make the roll if rolls less than 10.. to add 10.the first option might be easier to implement. That would help us a lot with hero point rolls.

Thanks

Heh, I posted this in the Bug report but bawsr is right, it should be a separate thread as it is not a bug, per se. :)

In the Deluxe Hero's Handbook on page 21 in Chapter 1: The Basics -> Hero Points -> Improve Roll it states:

"One hero point allows you to re-roll any die roll you make and take the better of the two rolls. On a result of 1 through 10 on the second roll, add 10 to the result, an 11 or higher remains as-is (so the re-roll is always a result of 11-20). You must spend the hero point to improve a roll before the GM announces the outcome of your initial roll. You cannot spend hero points on die rolls made by the GM or other players without the Luck Control effect (see the Powers chapter)."

Now, rolling the die 20 then checking if is under and only THEN adding 10 is cumbersome. If, INSTEAD, you simply rolled a D10 and added 10, it would essentially give you the same result and, I believe it might be easier to program. A Hero point roll will always be a result from 11 to 20, so this d10+10 does the trick.

I'll add it to my list of things to look over next time I circle back. Need to look over the roll system and see if I could add it in as the rule states. Which the roll itself isn't that difficult to adjust based on the rules you provided.

Cool! Thanks! :)

Been able to circle back yet? :)

I am afraid I haven't. Many projects have taken priority since April and not sure when I would be able to circle back. It's on my list, but sadly other pressing projects need my attention at the moment.

Well, thank you for all you do, Superteddy57. I do appreciate it. :)
