Hello, just a simple question:

Is there any dice-rolling website / program that can roll a set number of dice and then tell you how many came over/under a certain value?

Thanks for any help you may provide.

not that I know of, but I know that you can look at what the dice rolled manually on the Wizard of the Coast dice roller.

Ty for the link and yeah, I could theoretically count them results, but for the thing Im trying to do Id need to roll 20 - 30 dice at the same time and... it would take a while.

Oh well, Ill keep looking I guess.

MapTool can do this.

... although that's kind of like saying "Batman can do basic arithmetic." It's an overwhelming level of understatement.

But...the Wizard's dice roller CAN do 30 d20s at a time. I just did.

he means that if he were to do it he would have to count how many let's say D6s landed on 5 or more out of 20-30 dice. possible, but annoying.

Do you mind me asking what for?

Yeah, thats exactly that.

Well, for mass combat actually. Im currently trying to find a workable way to do it and one of the options was using a dice-pool like system and work with 'army units'; that way the PCs can fight 1000 or so troops with like 10 actual 'enemi minis'. Sort of. Its more of a work in progress, so if this kind of program doesnt exist Ill scrap it and back to the drawing board.

there's a better way to do that. take the dice pool of each enemy, enter it into custom dice area, then roll. whatever number pops up is how many successes it got.

Also, I would suggest looking into the Legend of the 5 rings RPG, they handle mass battle very well in my opinion.

OpenRPG (http://www.rpgobjects.com/index.php?c=orpg) has an extremely flexible die roller.
Invisible Castle's roller (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller) is basically the openrpg roller stripped out and hosted, with the added bonus of saving results to a DB for later retrieval.
