Weapons with odd damage dice D3, D5 etc

[GavinRuneblade]

Is it possible to do this? Drag and drop can only use the existing dice and I cannot find a way to manually enter a die the same as is done for NPCs.

The reason is for effects that allow rerolls on a damage result of 1. A d4 rerolling 1 is the same as d3+1, a d8 rerolling 1 is the same as D7+1. It is easier and faster than doing the reroll.

That would be horrible for a PC to do every attack for a whole campaign. That's why I want to see if there is a way to do it with an item.

For weapons, just go into the action tab on the weapon itself and put "REROLL 1" in the properties section... this will cause all 1's to be re-rolled.

NOTE: It will only do the re-roll on the initial rolls, and it won't show the original roll (the 1's) in the Chat but you should see the graphic of the dice being rolled again.

I don't understand the logic of this. Although you get to reroll a 1 this doesn't mean that the result of the reroll gets to be greater than one. If you are allowed to reroll a dice because the result is a 1 you reroll the same dice and accept the second roll even if it's another 1.

House rule. I think the "reroll but keep another 1" ends up working weirdly for different weapons. The odds of "roll to suck" on a weapon doing d4 is way higher than on something doing d8 or d10. So "never get a 1, but never do more than normal max either" seems more balanced to me. I just wondered if there was a way to do it.

Can you do a d6 half damage for the d3, and a d10 for the 5?

Not automated as far as I know.

I'll probably just replace all these effects with +1 damage instead. It's only trivially stronger.

You can natively roll a d0, d2 and d3 in fantasy grounds 5e. Just right click on the d6, select custom dice, and you have the three options there.

Nice trick! I did not know this one.

You can make an extension for custom dice, which would be accessible from the right-click menus on the 3D dice - allowing you to drag/drop them in the damage dice field.

Info on doing a bunch of this (d5, d7, etc.) here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?23452-DCC-Dice-d3-d5-d7-d14-d16-d24-d30&p=203985&viewfull=1#post203985

I've thrown together an extension based off the above thread (attached) which:
- Adds the dF fudge dice to the 5E desktop.
- The dF dice has a number of custom dice associated with it: d3, d5, d7, d14, d16, d24, d30. Get to these by right-clicking on the Fudge dice -> custom dice. This will allow you to drag/drop these custom dice to the damage dice field.
- For each of these custom dice the Fudge dice will roll, but code will replace the fudge dice result with a random number based off the die type.

You can look at the code and change the dice types if you want to.

That is super cool! Looking at the code and changing it may be beyond my skill, but I'm definitely trying to play with this information. Thank you!

Thank you, I didn't know this was possible!

Someone answered this above me. Sorry about that. :)

Using the right click method you can pick the die and drop it in the damage box. As of today at least.
