[Feature request]: Roll max of various values

[nico198x]

Feature request and related problem

max(4,2)d10

i would expect this to roll 4d10, but i can't get it to work, no matter how many permutations of brackets i try.

Ultimate, the goal is to roll the larger of two dice pools on Alchemy where I can reference Skill and Attribute variables. So it would look like (with whatever brackets needed):

max(Skill1+Att1,Skill2+Att2)d10>=8

But I don't think that will ever work unless you can fix max(4,2)d10.

I'm open to other suggestions also.

Thanks!

Suggested solution

Should determine highest value, then roll that many dice.

Unfortunately this isn't currently possible. You can't use dice roll results, or functions for the value of die sides or quantity at the moment.

You can use standard mathematical equations though: https://dice-roller.github.io/documentation/guide/notation/maths.html#operators

There's a long standing ticket open and I've done some work on it, but it's not there yet: #206
