Ok, thank you!

Hi all,

I honestly enjoy working with this and I right now use More Core to set up a Traveller environment (char generation and everything out of the core rules) to go with a first adventure there. I will post this .mod here later, but unfortunately for most of you guys it will be in German only

Nevertheless I wonder if I am only to dumb to see it: does there exist a dice roll to do something like -> /die 2d6 and count it, then tell me if the sum is bigger than min. 8 and count it as a success?

Thanks for the information and enjoy your weekend!

Best regards,
Newbie Waldbaer

Just FYI - I used /sfdice 2d6s8f0 and this works somehow - but it also shows me the "failures" which is not so interesting... (s. attached .png)

and sometime it is making me crazy because as you can see not all results are making sense with /sfdice 2d6s8f0...

Success/fail dice don't calculate against the total, the success number is compared with each dice. Hence why you see 1 success in the last roll as 1 dice was a 6.

Thanks for the info - I am just wondering if there is a dice check somehow that only compares against the total. I think not or maybe I missed something...

Hello Waldbear and greatings from Germany as well.
There is no roll so far that exactly does what you are looking for.

But should be able to use /saving 2d6>8

I do that for my Symbaroum Extension as well. (It needs a d20 roll under)

*wow* that is funny - I tried this slash command earlier, but did a misytype and the chat always gave me back the slash command help...
However, after retreating a bit and typing this in again more carefully this just works fine!

Thank you for your support and I am sure this works well for the Traveller setting!

The typo was not an "e" or was it?
If so it might be a "German thing" ;-)

Glad I could help while damned is asleep, as I will be soon as well.

Thanks Imiri and Trenloe.
Welcome Waldbaer.

Have a look at /scripts/manager_custom_pbta.lua
It accepts /pbta 2d6 (+mod) and outputs a Fail message for 6 and under, success with cost on 7-9 and success on 10+
It should be easy to modify...
You would then go to base.xml and add the following line:
<script name="CustomDiceDT" file="scripts/manager_custom_dt.lua" />
and use something unique for the /slashname like /dt (Deutsch Traveller)
You could also use the scripts/manager_custom_save.lua as your base and hardcode it to return a success on 8 or more.
You would need to update the rMessage.text in any case to give you your German output.
So several ways to approach this
Once you finish - send it to me for inclusion in a future MoreCore.

If you told me the exact chat message output you needed I can write you a roller but it would be better if you wrote it
Id also need to know if it accepts modifiers.
