MoreCore Ruleset

If you're trying to come up with a totaling of # of dice [d6], I've never found a solution for that. It's a capability I'd love to see.

Yes I am, have you found another way around it?

[PhilAdams]

Unfortunately, it's not graceful. I use the dice pool. OR I have people manually type the values in. It's not elegant, and this is the mechanism behind things like the MYZ engine and a lot of other systems (which add Attribute + Skill [+ Situational + Gear].

Another solution you can use is the modifier window. So, if you have Attribute dice/rating, and you have a Skill rating, you can roll for plain Attribute (unskilled) or you can roll Skill + (type in the Attribute rating in the modifier window). It's clunky, but maybe there's a limitation with Lua or something that limits the timing of dice string parsing?

When I ran Alien, I simply hard coded the final # of dice into p1. So Agility might be 4(d6), and Piloting might be 3. If so, I'd have the skill on the character sheet as Piloting 3 (the actual skill name), then the p1 box was 7 (Agility + Piloting 3), and the dice string used only p1.

I thought about using Pools, but you cant apply the /sfdice condition to pool rolls can you? THey are just plain rolls?

[PhilAdams]

Right. I think if you're using the pool, you end up having to do the dice resolution manually. For some systems (like MYZ), that's pretty easy.

Hi all,
Hopefully a quick one, is there a dice string for multiply in morecore?
I did some searching but no luck so far, I want to do something like /afmbe 1d8 x3 or /die 1d8*3.
A basic multiplier to the dice roll

use the afmbedmg roll
AFMBE Damage Roll: /afmbedmg (p1)d6x(p2) (roll #d6 * #)

[damned]

Hi all, is there a variable within MoreCore or CoreRPG that allows you to determine the range between attacker and target on a map, which can then be used in a script to select the correct range category for applying range modifiers within an attack roll?

There is not.
2E and SR4 rulesets both include code to do this.
An upcoming Star Wars d6 Extension may do this but it is not quite yet ready.
Its not on my radar....

/sfdice ((p1)+(a1))d6s5f1

This throws an error... bad argument #2 to min...

What do I need to do pls.

The valid syntax is:

Success/Fail: /sfdice #d#s#f# (roll #dice, count #s[Success] and #f[Fail])

You can change the pool to use some rolls - eg /pooltype explode but sfdice also requires arguments that are not supported by /pooltype

What system are you playing?

I had to make a dice system that did this. It was very custom to a homebrew game so I didn't think to share it with Damned. If you want to steal the code it is back on page 251 Mage5.ext. But I should have corrected SuccessFail dice to do what I revised.

So what i started doing was using the modStack. I would click attribute, and it would add that number to Mod, then click Skill it would also add, then run my dice mod which would take the mod stack as number of dice, then go from there. I plan on doing an upcoming video on how to make dice systems for MoreCore. But I just started school and work roughly 50+ hours, so expect that within a couple+ weeks.
