when you click on the dice roller there are several tabs, under combat it has the damage dice option. if you already put a d value in there I'm not sure what's up.
Diadochi Swings his war hammer and Attack: 19 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll. hits maybe?
so cool thing is that you can edit the message with out editing the roll it'll keep the original roll and not flag you for editing the die roll, and now I have no idea why the attack isn't doing damage.
Ok I think I need someone to walk me through all the blank boxes. On the combat page I assume in the combat modifier I put +4 in for my shortsword attack +3 for Hit//DC and +1 for piercing. Then in the Damage dice box I put 1 because I'm rolling one dice for damage. But somehow I roll a 24 and do 2 damage? I still don't get it.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.

Now I'm just plugging crap in and it seems to be working but then I realize that I keep getting 5 as an end result so I did it wrong again. I really have no idea what I'm doing lol.
Also deleting posts doesn't seem to remove it from sight. It still shows a post was deleted which is silly.

I think you need to type in the kind of dice it is. So attack bonus is the total bonus to the d20 to hit roll. The damage needs to be done not with the amount of dice, but the actual die. (1dX instead of 1.)
So I'll use a example of combat with the roller, with Rain Falling on Leaves.
As the Combat breaks out, Rain sees the wolves running to the horses. Pulling out a shamrock and tying it to his quarterstaff combined with a few druidic words, Rain casts shillelagh, before rushing in and bashing the nearest wolf over the head.
Initiative: 5
Shillelagh Attack: 22 Damage: 9
So what we have is, initative roll (so I know when your action will go), a bonus action (casting a spell), moving (cause we're going to just assume that needed to happen), and a attack roll. Rain maybe first or last in the round, won't know cause I haven't seen how everyone rolled yet. But, we can get a sense of the entire "what would Rain do in 6 seconds." Me the DM will put it all together and try to maximize it for you guys.
Ok that makes sense. I understand +1 for Dex +2 for proficiency, but on the long bow it says 1D8 +1 for piercing. So wouldit actually be +4 total? or is the plus 1 for piercing because of dex?
Upcoming Blackmire Company OOC thread for information, context, questions, thoughts, etc.
Will probably contain a whole bunch of random rolling and testing of what works in the system and D&D Beyond Threads as well.

At first I thought I somehow messed this all up. Then apparently, I didn't cause it doubled due to crit.

Ok so explain to me where I get the numbers to put in each box so that when we actually play I can do this.
On the roller I have the following empty spots.
Number of dice (autofills to 1)
Die Type is D20 unless I change it
Add to result - ?
Advantage or Drop Dice - ?
How Many dice to drop ?
On the combat tab I see
Attack Modifier - ?
Advantage Dice - (autofills to no)
Damage Dice - ?
Damage Modifier - ?
Oh and how do I add the special words like Dash up above?
Depending on what kind of attack you're using... (let's just say a longbow)
Combat:
Attack Modifier (Dex + Proficiency + any bonus)
Advantage (No)
Damage Dice 1d8
Damage Modifier (Dex + any bonus)
For Sim, using his Longbow:
Attack 3 (1 Dex + 2 Proficiency)
Advantage (no)
Damage Dice (1d8 for longbow)
Damage modifier (1, for dex)
For a skill, you'd use the first one.
1d20 + Whatever the skill is. Let's say, deception.
Dice, 1
d20
Add to result (5, based on your character)
You can hyperlink stuff with brackets. [.action]dash [/.action] without the . in there.
so dash, or hide. Conditions like poisoned should work too, or longbow using items.

+1 is because of dex. The damage type is piercing cause it's a bow.
