    Manual Dice Entry - Show the shadow

    I'd like to see that when a manual dice entry is used that it throws the appropriate shadows of dice in the chat window for the players.

    I think he knows that. He just wants for manual rolls to have an option that the players will see dice shadows. I guess he doesn't want the players to know when he has shifted to fudging?

    Makes sense to me. I once had a DM that was so out to get me that he didn't even roll a die before telling me I failed, it would've been nice for the illusion

    You're wrong Erin, you didn't make your intuition check so you only thought he was out to get you!

    Great idea. I could have used this last Saturday evening.

    Can't you just drop dice on the chat and then ignore the value?

    Nope - because with manual dice rolls enabled any dice rolls will appear in the manual dice window.

    So far what I plan on doing to remedy this is that when I see a roll I don't like, I will turn on the feature for manually rolling it and then do it. The shadows would have been seen for the first roll. The time it takes for me to turn on the feature and flub a roll will look suspicious though. Then I'll have to turn it off because I extremely rarely ever need to use this feature.
