Trying to allow for physical dice use. would like powers, attacks, etc. to use the formula D0 + GM Modifier + Ability Modifier Vs. Enemy Defense Instead of d20 + Ability Modifier Vs. Enemy Defense.

Any Suggestions?
A nudge in the right direction would be great, I'm lost in XML and Lua right now..

I've made some initial changes that give me what i want.

Attack rolls now roll a d0 (which I've changed to shadow a d20 instead of a d6) and adds any modifiers put in the modifier box (I'm using to input players rolls from their personal, "lucky" d20's) and modifiers in the power or weapon descriptions. doesn't test correctly for crit yet, but I'm hoping to fix that soon.

also works for skill checks, etc.

i'll upload a .pak file if anyone is interested.

It might be better to do this as an extension, especially as the release version of FG is likely to change soon, but you are not generally going to want to update your ruleset with every update to FG. It sounds like it would be for the 4E ruleset? You also might want to make sure you modifications still work in the 2.7 version of FG.
