Dice pools? Dice pools.

@bowlofspinach Is this what you meant?

You can add pool or pooladd attributes on rolls tables.
With those attribs, it'll add the last clicked dice to the last open roll (creating a new one if it needs to). pooladd uses addition instead of comma-separated.

Yes, that looks awesome!

The feature won't come with the dramatic music though. Soz.

Oh, in that case I'm not interested ???

Is there a sample sheet we can use to start testing with?

Sure. Create this and add it to your game.

Nice functionality.

Not sure about the syntax, but it is not terrible. Maybe `pooladd` should be `pool add` which would allow for extensions like `pool minus` as if that could ever be a thing? `pool` could be shorthand for `pool comma`, or be set by an earlier tag?

Needing a separate (and possibly duplicated) table to be able to + vs , the dice into the pool could be messy. I can't see a simple way to handle that without introducing buttons or toggles. Hopefully most games will mostly use one or the other.

"Pool minus" is an interesting thought, as in removing dice again from the pool...
Not super pressing but it would be helpful in some circumstances.

What would also be cool but probably pretty complicated is if you could for example press two different 1D6 tags and combine them into 2D6.

But those are all little things that would be neat but aren't super important.

How about kebab case? pool-add? Else add looks like an attribute on its own.

2d6 is mechanically identical to 1d6+1d6, is it not?

Would games actually benefit enough from combing them into 2d6 notation to make it worth it? If it will make it easier to look at the dice after the roll and understand then it is always worth considering.

This does seem like FFG Star Wars assumes that combine, but just adding those with +s could remove the need to decide between the 2p3b and pbbpb notations since it will end up as p+b+b+p+b --which actually looks fine to me, but could get very long. :)

I was thinking they should be their own attribute. It is a 'pool' table (though not a pool table) and it has the 'add' or 'comma' (or 'minus') attribute dictating how it works?

It is. It would be a purely aesthetic thing, which is why I listed it as "would be neat to have but is absolutely not necessary"

Turns out `1d6+1d6` is not the same as `2d6`.

`2d6` displays '(1,2) = 3' while `1d6+1d6` displays '(1)+(2) = 3'. `2d6+d6` displays '(1,2)+(3) = 6'.

I don't think we can apply the all dice highlighting to plussed dice since they are not considered as the same thing. We can not sort them, and matches don't show as matches.

We also can not use drop/keep codes with them since that will only apply to the single clause as deliminated by the + signs. This might be beyond an easy fix as the + syntax might be complicated.

If we could have the option to turn multiple clicks into a `1d6` becomes `2d6` becomes `3d6` code that would solve a few of these. Maybe something like: `[ table="rolls pool-combine"]`?

This might also allow us so add a h1 or l1 entry to the table that can be clicked to tack that text onto the end of the dicecode. But people may forget to click that in the end, and having it as something that can be defined in the table definition could make it automatic for games that need that.

This code also display funny: `0d6+2d6+1d6+2d6`. It add arrows to the result.

It seems to be related to the 0d6 in the first position. Having it elsewhere (`1d6+0d6+2d6`) seems to not mention the 0d and displays properly.

Are you using the dice pool functionality @vagueGM (or anyone else for that matter)?

Huh. That's weird. It's rendered them like exploding dice. I need to look at that.

I am wanting to test it in my upcoming CBR+PNK game, it would be useful... if it worked.
