Having gotten into flanking position with Nilparin last round, Harukai swings the Staff of Striking at the injured Ghoul’s hip in a powerful two-handed arc.
Staff attack, blessed and flanking: Attack: 18 Damage: 10 plus bless: 1
Assuming that takes it down, Harukai will spring over to the ghouls around Sildar and flank the nearest one, entering combat with a flying kick to the back of its head.
OOC: Bless is an additional d4 roll for attack rolls and saving throws, so rolling a separate d4 for each attack roll and saving throw makes sense -- though I'll say you don't necessarily need to take the extra d4 if you're confident you hit right off the bat.
Right. Trying to put in a d4 in the combat dice roller doesn’t seem to be straightforward. Putting it after the roll (which I did above) puts the Bless after the Damage, which is misleading. For now, I will roll the Bless first, then add it in as a static bonus in the combat dice roller...

Nil's first strike goes wide, but his second swing connects on the ghoul who screams in pain and turns to attack him while the other two are still focused on Sildar
OOC: Posting for Harukai's action at the top of the next round...
Harukai moves to flank the nearest injured ghoul attacking Sildar. He strikes quickly with his staff, following up with a front snap kick if necessary to finish it off (if not, he kicks at the next adjacent ghoul).
Bless attack #1: Add 3
Bless attack #2: Add 1
Staff Attack with Flanking & Bless: Attack: 31 Damage: 15
Nil winces as the ghoul connects with him this time as he strikes his blades move quickly and as he slashes at the ghoul it catches the one next to it with the tip of the blade
Rapier: To Hit 10 Damage 9
Shortsword: To Hit 22 Damage 9
Slashing Flourish: 2

OOC: is there a good way in the dice roller to add bless?

Gotta tell the devs to add options for "bless" and "bane" in the dice roller. That'd be cool
When you use the combat roller, manually add +1d4 after your 1d20 and before the modifier dice as below.
Attack: [ roll ]1d20+1d4+9[ /roll ] Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.
Attack: 19 Damage: 16

I also agree that having bane and bless automatically in the roller would be nice though

Harukai's strike kills the already injured ghoul. Sildar will strike again with his longsword.
Attack: 19 Damage: 11
Ghosts of Saltmarsh - DM
Sildar slashes one of the remaining ghouls deeply. Nil has a turn before the ghouls go again.
OOC: An advantage to having the bane or bless in the roller would be I would not forget it each time!

Unfortunately, since the 1d4 came up a 4 in the dice roller, it assumed a crit and double the damage dice...so that doesn't quite work either.

Good catch. It did roll two d8s.
As you mentioned before, roll the bane dice first and then the normal to hit die, I will add them together for the to hit.
