Dice Bag Tab
  
  
    
  
  
   The Dice Bag allows you to enter an expression in standard
format and calculates a random value. Examples of allowed
expressions include:
  
  
   - 
    1d10 - Number generated between 1 and 10 (simulates 1 roll of a
10 sided dice).
   
- 
    2d10 - Number generated between 2 and 20 (simulates 2 rolls of
a 10 sided dice).
   
- 
    1d10+1 - Number generated between 2 and 11 (simulates 1 roll of
a 10 sided dice plus 1).
   
- 
    1d10-1 - Number generated between 0 and 9 (simulates 1 roll of
a 10 sided dice minus 1).
   
- 
    1d10*5 - Number generated between 5 and 50 (simulates 1 roll of
a 10 sided dice multiplied by 5).
   
- 
    1d10/2 - Number generated between 1 and 5 (simulates 1 roll of
a 10 sided dice divided by 2).
   
- 
    1d3+1d4 - Number generated between 2 and 7 (simulates 1 roll of
a 3 sided dice plus one roll of a 4 sided dice).
   
- 
    (1d4)d6 - Number generated between 1 and 24 (simulates 1 roll
of a 4 sided dice and then a roll of a number of six sided dice
equal to the result of the first roll).
   
   
    Notes:
   
  
  
   - 
    Output is always an integer.
   
- 
    The Dice Bag window can be expanded to show more complex
expressions.
   
- 
    Spaces are ignored.
   
- 
    Maximum dice size is 100,000,000,000. GMGen & PCGen will
hang if this is exceeded.
   
- 
    Standard Mathematical rules apply so brackets () can be used to
control order of calculation.
   
- 
    The Dice Bag can also be used as a calculator. Most expressions
work when entered into the Roll Expr: field.
   
- 
    Really complicated dice rolls can be computed, for example
(1d6)d8 will roll a d6 and then roll that many d8's and add them
up.
   
   
    Use:
   
  
  
   When first activated the Dice Bag Tab displays one blank Dice
Bag window. You can create a new Dice Bag window by selecting
   
    New
   
   from the
   
    File
   
   menu.
  
  
   To create permanent Dice rolling sets click the
   
    Edit
   
   button which will bring you into edit mode.
Double click a blank space below the Dice Expression pane to add
Dice Expressions. Use the
   
    Move Up
   
   and
   
    Move
Down
   
   buttons to change the order of your Expressions.
  
  
    
  
  
   When you click the
   
    Stop Editing
   
   Button your
custom Dice Expressions will appear as buttons on the bottom of the
Dice Bag window.
  
  
    
  
  
   To save your custom Dice Expressions choose
   
    Save
   
   from the
   
    File
   
   menu and give
your Dice Bag a name, the name will appear in the top left corner
of the window. You can then close the Dice Bag and open it at any
time in the future by choosing
   
    Open
   
   from the
   
    File
   
   menu. You may have more then one Dice Bag
open at a time.
