This is not the greatest post in the world, no... this is just a tribute.

Wait, we gain saves and bab from level adjustment levels? I thought they were blank levels that didn't give anything on their side of the gestalt when they're taken.

Iron Dragoon

Uh, I dunno? I got that stuff from my Dragon levels, so I just carried it over with Half-Celestial. It's not directly from Half-Celestial, but from Outsider since it says it made me an Outsider.

ANNOUNCEMENT:

As of now, we have a diceroller on the forums. For now we're not going to use it for B3, as I'm still experimenting with it and seeing how it works. A more permanent ruling will come in a day or two.

In unrelated news, early sleep + power outage in the morning means DM work is greatly behind. Bear with me.

The diceroller seems reasonably secure, it'll roll and reroll dice each time you preview and again on making the post. There doesn't seem to be an obvious way to spoof it, so that's good.

There is a problem with adding multiple dice to the same roll. Let's take something like a longsword blow with some extra damage dice. In this case it's 1d8+5+1d6+2d6+1d6.

[blockquote]Rolled 1d8+5 : 3 + 5, total 8
Rolled 1d6+2 : 5 + 2, total 7
Rolled 1d6 : 4, total 4[/blockquote]

As you can see, it isn't designed to roll multiple sets of dice at once. Can anyone figure out a way to work around this smoothly?

If not, I don't mind doing the math to total it up from here. Having a forum-based dice roller is outstanding and I'll do whatever is needed to work with it.

What if you edit the post? Let's see~

This dice roll has been tampered with!
Rolled 1d20-1 : 5 - 1, total 4

I see~

[blockquote]Rolled 1d6 : 1, total 1[/blockquote]

Amusing
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Corwin

Just reject any edited posts with rolls and it works?

Anastasia

I'll probably allow either. I personally prefer dicebot rolls, but if you want or need to use the SR roller that's okay too.

Yuthirin

Second or third options work. First option is way too spread out.
