Hi
I have noticed that data stored in the game registry as a string of the format xdy (eg 1d6, 2d4) is retrieved as a big number (such as 1000000, 20000) in much the same way as if it was in exponent format.
That is, 1d6 is treated like 1e6 = 1000000.
This is very easy to replicate, just launch any d20 campaign (such as Tale of Dinor) and type 1d6 into the combat tracker as the name of the first entry. Type /save and then type /reload ruleset (to force the campaign to be reloaded).
A curious feature, but troublesome if you are trying to store weapon damage info in the registry.
