/roll Question |

Out of curiosity, I was wondering if the game has a /roll function. If so, does it allow /roll20, /roll100 etc. 

It was something I had forgotten to check while I was in Phase 3 BETA. I have been in games where it has not been implemented. I tend to like using a roll system for various things including roleplay combat and other things. 

Mind you I am a heavy freeform rper when it comes down to it though /rolls generally have helped in various situations in the last MMO I had been in when it came to roleplay. 

If not, then well- no rolls for me. Big Grin

(I do apologize if this is a silly question.)

This is actually a really good question.

I remember in 1.x that there was a /random feature. Even /random 1000. Default /random was out of 100. However, I seem to remember they took it out of the game. I don't know if this was for beta only or if it was is out of the game entirely due to not really needing /random anymore to determine loot drops.

Sorry I can't be more helpful. =/ Best I can say is we'll have to try and see in P4.

Huh... If they don't have it I hope they do put a dice roll system into the game. I use it on occasion with rp; but I know there are some people who are very heavily table-top players who do like to use the mechanic even more than I do- who would like the function I'm sure. 

It is okay, you did your best. I heard about the /random briefly but nothing too substantial. Thank you though!

In P3, there was no such feature. A few feedback threads were opened on it.

I do hope they bring it back, though. It's quite handy for conflict resolution.

I hope they add this. I will be severely dissapointed if they don't, because a Random Number Generator is the easiest thing to program ever.

Pretty much, yeah. It's also useful for loot distribution, in addition to roleplay.

Certainly hope it will be added in some form >>;; It helps make RP fights fair, when dealing with total strangers.
