[Classic] Rolling more than one dice

[Maspalio]

Hello,

I'm trying to modify very simply the 3.5E Ruleset to change the dice rolled for AbilityAction, having read Trenloe's explanations. At first sight, it works fine and rolls a d6 instead of a d20 :

function getRoll(rActor, sAbilityStat)
	local rRoll = {};
	rRoll.sType = "ability";
	rRoll.aDice = { "d6" };
	rRoll.nMod = ActorManager2.getAbilityBonus(rActor, sAbilityStat);
	
	rRoll.sDesc = "[ABILITY]";
	rRoll.sDesc = rRoll.sDesc .. " " .. StringManager.capitalize(sAbilityStat);
	rRoll.sDesc = rRoll.sDesc .. " check";

	return rRoll;
end

Now, how would you tell it to roll two d6 and not just one?
I've tried different syntaxes but nothing works. (2d6, d6+d6, ...)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you try "d6", "d6" instead? Though I wonder why "2d6" didn't work for you, but I didn't test yet

Sorry for the late answer, it may be better to ask such questions in the workshop Not sure how many just follow the armory (not speaking about its subthreads)

That's because FGC only accepts dice as individual die entries (i.e. { "d6", "d6" }). FGU will accept "expr = 'XdX'" within the die table; but accepts individual entries as well for backward compatibility.
