Dice & D&D

Tabletop dice rolling, in the same notation Avrae uses.

Two ways to roll, and they are mutually exclusive: write notation in expression, or build it from die/dice/keep/explode and the rest. The builder compiles to notation and the result always shows what it rolled, so it doubles as a way to learn the syntax. Powered by the MIT-licensed d20 library, the same dice parser Avrae uses. Natural 20s turn the embed gold, natural 1s red. Restrict it to a channel with /blacklist add dnd. Not to be confused with /roll, which is the gambling command.

Roll a skill or ability check for your active character.

Aliases: check skill

<prefix>c <skill|ability> [ability] [adv|dis] [+N]

Reads the modifier your character sheet already worked out. Build one at /dnd and set it active. Three things it takes: a skill (r!c stealth), an ability on its own for a raw check with no proficiency (r!c dex), or both, which is the Player’s Handbook’s optional rule for rolling a skill under a different ability. You keep your training and swap which score it rides on, so r!c stealth str is shoving through a crowd rather than sneaking past it. Either order works. Skill names match loosely: stealth, sleight, animal and perc all land, but an ability has to be named in full, which is what keeps r!c int an Intelligence check and r!c intim Intimidation. adv/dis and a one-off bonus can come in either order.

Roll a saving throw for your active character.

Aliases: save

<prefix>s <ability> [adv|dis] [+N]

Takes str/dex/con/int/wis/cha or the full ability name.

Roll initiative for your active character.

Aliases: initiative

<prefix>init [adv|dis] [+N]

Uses the initiative bonus on your sheet, which the builder works out from your Dexterity plus anything you added. Takes adv/dis and a one-off bonus like every other roll.

Roll an attack and its damage from your character sheet.

Aliases: attack

<prefix>a [weapon] [adv|dis] [+N] [dmg+N]

Rolls to hit and damage together. A critical doubles the damage dice and not the modifier; a natural 1 rolls no damage. Weapon names match loosely, and no name at all uses your first attack. dmg+N adds to the damage only, which is how Great Weapon Master and Sharpshooter are typed: -5 dmg+10. It is a choice you make per swing rather than a number on your sheet, and a crit never doubles it.

Track your character’s hit points.

<prefix>hp [-N | +N | temp N | full]

Temporary hit points soak damage first. Dropping below zero keeps the negative rather than clamping, since it matters for death saves. Current HP lives outside the sheet, so editing your character on the site never resets it.

Roll a death saving throw, and keep the tally.

Aliases: ds deathsave

<prefix>death [reset]

Rolls one d20 against DC 10 and remembers where you are, which is the whole point: the two rules a table gets wrong are the two naturals, and they are not symmetrical. A natural 20 is not a success, it puts you back up on 1 hit point and wipes both tallies; a natural 1 counts as two failures, which is what makes dying to one unlucky roll possible. Three successes is stable, which is not awake: you are still unconscious at 0 and come round on 1 hit point after 1d4 hours, or the moment anybody heals you. Taking damage while already at 0 is an automatic failure rather than a roll, two from a critical hit, and damage of your whole hit point maximum kills outright whatever the tally says, so r!hp -6 keeps the count for you. Any healing at all clears both sides, and so does a long rest.

Look a spell up. No slot spent.

Aliases: sp lookup

<prefix>spell <name>

The same SRD 5.1 card r!cast prints, with the rolling and the bookkeeping left out. Checking a range or a duration mid-fight used to mean casting the spell and then putting the slot back by hand. No active character needed.

Look an item up: cost, weight, damage, armour.

Aliases: gear

<prefix>item <name>

SRD 5.1 weapons, armour and gear. It prints only what the item actually has, so a longsword shows its damage and no armour class and a coil of rope shows neither. Costs come out as the coin you would be handed rather than as decimal gold. No active character needed, which is the point for a DM.

Cast a spell: rolls it, and spends the slot.

<prefix>cast <spell> [at N] [adv|dis] [+N]

Looks the spell up in the bundled SRD 5.1 and rolls it. A spell that calls for an attack gets one, at your spell attack bonus; a spell that calls for a save prints your DC and which ability. Damage and healing are rolled, upcast when you cast from a bigger slot, and cantrips scale with your level at 5th, 11th and 17th. A critical doubles the dice. "at N" upcasts and casting from a slot below the spell’s level is refused; cantrips spend nothing. The dice come out of the spell’s own text, so the handful the SRD describes in a way that cannot be read (Delayed Blast Fireball, Guardian of Faith, Spiritual Weapon) print their description and roll nothing, exactly as before. When a bigger slot changes something other than dice, like Magic Missile’s extra dart, it rolls the base and says so rather than quoting a number it cannot stand behind.

Show your remaining spell slots.

<prefix>slots

Rest. Long by default, short on request.

Aliases: longrest

<prefix>rest [short [+N]]

A long rest restores your hit points, every spell slot, and half your hit dice rounded down, which is the rule rather than all of them. A short rest is different in kind: nothing happens automatically, you choose how many hit dice to spend (r!rest short +2) and each rolls its die plus your Constitution modifier. Spell slots only come back on a short rest for Pact Magic, which the builder asks about rather than guessing from your class, because a multiclass Warlock has two pools and a sheet has one.

Show your character’s resources and what is left of them.

Aliases: resource resources

<prefix>res [name] [+N|-N]

Anything with a number of uses that comes back on a rest: Ki, Rage, Superiority Dice, Channel Divinity, Second Wind, Bardic Inspiration. You list them in the builder with a count and which rest restores them, so the bot needs no per-class knowledge and homebrew works the same as anything else. With no name it shows them all; with one it adjusts, so r!res ki +1 hands a use back. Spending is r!use, because a signed number on a command called “use” reads both ways.

Spend one of your character’s resources.

<prefix>use <resource> [count]

Names match loosely, the way skills do: ki, superiority and sup all land. An ambiguous name is refused rather than guessed at, because spending the wrong resource is not something you can undo from here. Asking for more than you have spends what is left and says so.

Show your active character at a glance.

Aliases: mychar

<prefix>sheet

Abilities, AC, HP, initiative, save proficiencies, trained skills, attacks and spell slots.

Roll dice by prefix, the same engine as /dnd roll.

Aliases: roll dice

<prefix>r <expression> [adv|dis]

Notation only. The builder options are what the slash command is for. Add adv or dis on the end for advantage/disadvantage. Your command message is deleted once the result posts (where the bot can manage messages); a roll that fails to parse keeps it, so you can edit and retry. All the r! dice commands honour /blacklist add dnd.
