Let me see if I understand this correctly;

Basically, you want the same effect as "Explode" but on all rolls and the modifier added in only after the Explode has taken place?

Does this mean that a Players modifier does not influence the first roll?

For example:

Savage World D6 roll with a modifier of +1. The Player gets a natural "5" with +1 that is "6" so does the Explode (Roll again) take place or not.

If not, then this is what happens:

Savage World D6 roll with a modifier of +1. The Player gets a "6" so before applying the "+1" a roll is made and the Player gets a "2" so the total is "8" and now we apply the +1 making the total 9, is that correct? If so, I will need to know the typical number of Die fields that might be needed.

JB this is exactly what happens for SW. The explode would take effect BEFORE modifiers were added. All further exploding dice would be accounted for BEFORE the modifiers were added.

^ ^ This is the correct way for exploding or 'Aces' to work in SW.

The catch is, whether to allow Option 1 the Embedded Dice software to auto roll for ALL explodings or 'Aces' after the first roll is initiated by the player or Option 2 I as the Dungeon Master push back to the player and require a follow up roll and another? Personally, I would prefer the Embedded Dice software Option 1 to take care of all the exploding or 'Aces.'

Would you mind giving me an example of die fields. The dice that this would apply to would be d4, d6, d8, d10, and d12.

Making a Player roll again each time they got the highest number will waste unnecessary time so we will implement something automated so the focus can be Role-play.

What I am asking is how many times will a player need to roll a unique die in one round. For instance, how many "Purpose" fields you will need for one combat action; one D8 for initiative, one D6 for attack, one D4 for damage, one D12 for 'x', etc.

The reason for this is to decide how to structure the coding as the current Dice Explode system will not work this way in its current format.

I understand what you are asking for.

Initiative is taken care of through the 54 standard card deck.

One player could roll 6 different dice at 1 time.
Dice Breakdown:
*Wild Die - 1 die.
*Ranged Weapon - 5 individual dice (Rate of Fire or RoF max of 5).

As a Dungeon Master, I would be capping the number of actions I would take to 10. This accounts for swarms of enemies, and the actions of Wild Card NPCs.

I understand. A new Dice System will need to be coded for this so I will only work on it when you have all your Players and various Threads established.

Thanks again JB. I was not intending to create further head aches, but I do appreciate you following up on this small issue.

Great as usual JB. I've seen weapons in D&D with this kind of roll. I liked that you changed the box itself and made the help button more prominent because some do ask how to use it.

Out of Character: Below is my test of it.

I was wondering about the new start number option, and I can see it's possible to select a d2 with a start number of 3 or 4. Just curious if there's code to deal with that exception or if it would get stuck in a loop?
