Manual Dice Entry - Show the shadow

[LordEntrails]

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.

It sounds like you have Show GM Rolls set to Off, so the players only see the die rolls and they don't know if you hit or miss. Even though FG knows and you know. If you want it to be a hit, just roll damage, if you want it to be a miss don't roll damage.

Or maybe it's a combination of setting needed, but I know in the past (before I turned on Show Rolls) that my players never knew if I hit or missed. Or am I mistaken?

HAve you tried starting a second instance to see what they see? (I haven't for this issue).

Yes I've started a second instance to test what they see. I do fake a miss some rare times, but to make it a little more fair to the rules I like to sometimes manually add damage and there's quite a bit of damage type text that goes along with that. Using the manual dice entry for damage really has value. I just wish it was quicker to do and toggle on and off. The shadow is a dead give away something was fake, but dragging a damage twice and rolling one then manually entering it the second time is a good practice. This stuff could be better.

Yep, I agree. The manual dice functionality was only recently added to FG, so it can definitely be refined.

Have you added your request to the wishlist I linked in post #2? This is the main areas that the developers use to brain-storm, and prioritise, new features. When you add it, please provide a link here so others interested in this feature can vote. Thanks.

[Nalfien]

Yes, thank you very much!

Good Day All
I voted for this too, as I am running my first campaign and the party was getting whopped up on pretty bad due to the RNG being against them and for me
I shifted to manual rolls, not realizing they did not show a die, and kept the party going by the skin of their teeth
Luckily nobody seemed to notice that there were no dice rolled on my side for attacks or damage.
