Dice Protocol Extension

This unofficial TaleSpire plugin provides the ability to roll with advantage and disadvantage when using the Talespire dice protocol. Results show both dice rolls but the total uses only the higher dice or the lower date for calculating the total.

This plugin, like all others, is free but if you want to donate, use: http://LordAshes.ca/TalespireDonate/Donate.php

Usage

Rolls With Advantage And Disadvantage

The Talepsire Dice Protocol is a way to load dice into Talespire from an external application or webpage. With the Auto Roll Plugin you can also have these dice automatically rolled. To use this feature just make a URL request to as follows:

talespire://dice/name:dice

Where:

name is a name that describes what the roll is for. dice is the dice formula to be rolled.

Adding:

(%2B) to the roll name will roll with advantage (%2B is the URL encoded version of the plus sign). (-) to the roll name will roll with disadvantage.

The talespire protocol supports multiple dice in a single roll and multiple rolls in a roll specification. For example:

talespire://dice/Attack:1D20+5 talespire://dice/Attack:1D20+5/Damage:3D6+2 talespire://dice/Attack(-):2D20+5 talespire://dice/Attack(%2B):2D20+5/Damage:3D6+2 talespire://dice/Attack:1D20+5+1D4/Damage:3D6+2

However, the Advantage and Disadvantage rolls have the following limitations:

1. The Adv/Dis roll must be the first roll in the roll sequence.
2. To roll Adv/Dis, the roll must have exactly two D20 dice. No extra dice are supported.

Multi Modifier Fix

The current version of Talespire has an issue with multiple modifiers in a roll request. For example, the the following roll:

talespire://dice/Attack:1D20+5-2+3

When using regular Talespire, the roll will get added to the Dice Tray as only: 1D20+5.

This is because Talespire expects rolls to be in the format: #d#+# or #d#-#. You can string those many times but each set must have a dice portion and an optional modifier portion.

This applies a work around automatically inserting 0D20 dice where needed. Talespire ignores the 0D20 dice but this allows the request to meet the #d#+# format and recognine all numeic modifiers.
