Also maybe use this:

"In Fate, many people use adjectives to describe the result (after mods) with the following ladder:"
+8 Legendary
+7 Epic
+6 Fantastic
+5 Superb
+4 Great
+3 Good
+2 Fair
+1 Average
+0 Mediocre
-1 Poor
-2 Terrible

Shouldn't be too difficult to add that as dice code. Just replace a result of 8 with "+8 Legendary"

I like that.

That was my thought when I read that as well.
Perhaps make a repositoried (?) fate dice rule with that, so people don't need to type it and stuff.

I quickly wrote up some dice code for it, using the workaround that was suggested, using D3-2.
Unfortunately, that means that players will always have to type "4D3-8" plus their modifier. But it seems to work

Works great!

Does this work with actual Fate Dice, as selected from the 'Add Rolls' dropdown?

We don't enter dice codes into the roller for Fate, so what is the Dice Highlighting syntax for them? Presumably we don't want to push people to use the old `4d3-8` that we have to resort to on sites that don't support Fate?

Could the Basic roller be taught to allow `4df+2` so we don't need to have a separate dropdown and can know what to put in the Highlight codes?

Do we actually want this feature? I have never had a Fate group (though Fate is not really a common game for me) ask for the Ladder on results.

The way it works is if the character sheet sees this:



It enters a FATE roll (with the new modifier)

Ugh. Maybe. But this was easy to code. I like easy to code.
As BoS pointed out, this is supported via the dice highlighting codes (for people that want it).

That is why I proposed it, you already have code that understands that.

I get that the dice roller code is a bit of a nightmare, though. :)
I am proposing that, once people can use `4df` in the roller, they would be able to use `df` in the Highlight code. People may not think to use `4d3-8` when they expect `4df`.

Yeah. I think we're all saying the same thing. The highlight code now supports 4df.

So if someone wanted the ladder stuff they could do something like this:

{"rolled": "4df", "total": ">=+8","contentAppend": "Legendary","highlight": "success invert bold"},
{"rolled": "4df", "total": "=+7","contentAppend": "Epic","highlight": "success invert bold"},
{"rolled": "4df", "total": "=+6","contentAppend": "Fantastic","highlight": "success invert bold"},
{"rolled": "4df", "total": "=+5","contentAppend": "Superb","highlight": "success invert bold"},
{"rolled": "4df", "total": "=+4","contentAppend": "Great","highlight": "success bold"},
{"rolled": "4df", "total": "=+3","contentAppend": "Good","highlight": "success bold"},
{"rolled": "4df", "total": "=+2","contentAppend": "Fair"},
{"rolled": "4df", "total": "=+1","contentAppend": "Average"},
{"rolled": "4df", "total": "=+0","contentAppend": "Mediocre"},
{"rolled": "4df", "total": "=-1","contentAppend": "Poor","highlight": "fail invert bold"},
{"rolled": "4df", "total": "<=-2","contentAppend": "Terrible","highlight": "fail invert bold"}

Would it be possible to define dice? For example, could we write dice code that allows you to define for your game for example "1DX" as a randomizer between a number of options you give it.
So the way 1D6 always gives out one result between "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", 1DX could always give one result between "X", "Y" and "Z"

I have absolutely no idea how complicated that would be to implement but I could see a handful of (maybe niche) uses for it

Whoah, dude! Did you just go diceception?

What on earth are you trying to achieve?

Well, the thought grew out of the manual fate dice code. Rather than writing 4D3-8, it would be nice if you could just write 4DF. How could you just write 4DF? You define somewhere else that a DF is a randomizer that chooses between the options "-1", "0", and "+1"
For most cases, you can achieve similar results just by editing the "content" of a roll. But if you want the dice to do the calculation for you, that doesn't work for Fate Dice
