View Full Version : Rolling in the Dice Tower ignores bonuses/penalties from effects

Ruleset: Starfinder
Operating System: Windows 10

In my games, certain rolls (e.g. stealth, sense motive, bluff, etc.) are always hidden roles. This is in part because I don't want the players to subconsciously meta the result, but also because we stream our sessions and I don't want the viewers to figure things out either and maybe give something away in chat.

Anyway, one of my players has skills that allow her to add a 1d6 to certain rolls. This is handled by her clicking a button on the character sheet and an effect being applied to her character in the combat tracker. When she rolls the skill -openly- (drag into chat or double-clicking), the effect resolves correctly. However, if she rolls it hidden (drag onto dice tower), the effect doesn't resolve at all. I'm assuming this is a bug, because no matter how you roll (hidden or openly) the effect should resolve, as long as you don't miss the dice tray entirely.

P.S. Some may say "As the GM, you could just roll for them - then no one can see the result but you", but I don't want to take this away from the players.

I'm not seeing this in my local copy (see image running with effect "SKILL: 5 bluff" added on combat tracker).

Are you running any extensions or have the CoreRPG or Starfinder rulesets unzipped anywhere in your FG data folder?

Sorry, reading through my post again, I realise it wasn't all that clear: The effect I'm trying to resolve is the rolling of the normal die + the bonus die. So the effect shouldn't be a flat value, i.e. "SKILL: 5 bluff" (this works in a dice tower), but a variable "SKILL: 1d6 bluff" (this does not work in a dice tower)

Having the effect SKILL: 1d6 bluff and rolling bluff openly will result in a 1d20 + 1d6 being rolled for bluff.
Having the effect SKILL: 1d6 bluff and rolling bluff through the dice tower will result in only the 1d20 being rolled.

P.S. The image is from a clean install with no extensions or anything else.
