Hey! This is actually my first post as I have no idea where to find this information and I am hoping this can steer me in the right direction.

I am working on my own TTRPG system and I am utilizing a Dice Pool System that compares individual dice rolled from the two contested parties from highest to lowest. Each Dice in a pool that is contested against another dice has a winner and at the end of the dice Pool contest the one with the most winning dice wins the contest. I don't know if that made sense but to put it plainly...

Attacker rolls 5d6: 3, 5, 2, 6, 1 (6, 5, 3, 2, 1)

Defender roll 5d6: 3, 2, 3, 4, 6 (6, 4, 3, 3, 2)

There is a way to decide ties but I will skip it to keep it brief. The Attacker and Defender compare dice as shown in the brackets. The Attacker wins ties, so as a result they score 3 wins to the Defender's 2). Moves onto next step (unimportant)

I need a way that when dice pools are rolled, it auto-sorts them from highest to lowest to make the comparing part easy (or if there is a function that can somehow just do it automatically and declare a winner somehow that'd be even better but I'll assume that's some extensive work).

Is there an extension/module out there that can sort all dice rolls made? I don't need the dice results totaled together.

Here's a super simple one that will sort any generic dice roll made to the chat window.

Both XCore and MoreCore have sort dice options.

Cool, I think I downloaded Morecore and I wasn't really sure where I was looking for that. It's its own game system right? I loaded a game and went through options and didn't see it but perhaps I missed or or im missing some sort of download for it. I'll check out Xcore too, thanks! Just know it has it helps a lot!

Where would I put this file exactly? Under modules?

.ext files go under the extensions folder
.pak files go under the ruleset folder
.mod files go under the modules folder

Note that .ext extension files must be selected/enabled at campaign startup. They can not be enabled or disabled once the campaign has loaded.

Awesome, good tip, I'll make sure to write this down!
