Is there a way to get both die rolls to show? As with the lucky feat allows to retold 1s. Though with just one. No way to see the other.

You do see (briefly) both die values in the chat if you look closely, but only the winning die is used and shown in the calculation. But, no, you don't see both. And I can't think of any reason you'd need/want to.

The Lucky feat doesn't say anything about re-rolling 1's. It just gives you extra d20 rolls.

I think he may mean the halflings Lucky trait.

This would really matter most with advantage, where you don't pass the check. If the lesser roll was a one, rerolling it could mean you pass a roll you were going to fail. It would be great to see both rolls, though this needs to a suggestion.

Yes half-ling feat..will teach me to post from my phone :).

I am aware of seeing both rolls briefly..but as a DM to have a record of it for those odd moments when things like that are relevant.

There is probably plenty of time to see the second dice before it fades, unless, as sometimes happens, they land on top of one another. I'm nor sure if this would count as a 'bug', but you could report it in the bugs list and you should also post it in the suggestions list.

Perhaps what is needed is for the dice not to fade away so quickly but then the dice box might start to get a bit cluttered. Another possibility is that if a 1 is rolled on the other dice some kind of output goes to chat.

Having said all of that this is a super situational thing, and probably very rare and I'd expect that there wouldn't be an easy solution and so I wouldn't be expecting this to be high on any priority lists.

I see this as just punishing halflings, which I'm fully in favor of. ;)

I wouldn't mind some more advanced options for /die.. 2d20k1 (two d20, keep 1 ) Also useful when rolling stats with 4d6k3.

k - keep # highest
l - lose # highest
e - explode on crit?

In this context they probably means making it automatically roll max dmg on crit or so. When I see it I think of exploding dice in Savage Worlds where when you roll max number on a die it automatically rolls another (and another if that one rolls max, etc).

I've known this to be called "open ended"

Is there not an effect that can be created where if a role is 1 that it auto rerolls, I know there is for damage

Similar to the open ended low and open ended high d% of Rolemaster.

There are/were two stages of brutal weapons that reroll on low rolls. First is reroll any ones, second it reroll any ones or twos.

Well, ok I am a little.
