[Mechanics] Toss the Bones

This is the dice rolling thread.

Anyway, it looks like you guys understand. {dice}dx+y{/dice} is how you do it. x and y are variables here, where x>0 and both are integers. Obviously, replace {} with [].

Any time you make a skill check, declare it and roll in here. For example:

Example My barbarian, Jurtta, is going to try to leap the chasm. I come to this thread first. I type: Jump {dice}d20+4{/dice} Then I submit the post. Jurtta, with her +4 to jump, rolls a total of 12. Now, I don't know exactly how wide this chasm is, so I'm not sure if I beat the DC or not. In most cases, you will not know if you beat the DC or hit the AC. Do not write one way or the other unless the DC has been given to you or is standard and easily found and you are sure of your result. I start typing up something along the lines of "Jurtta makes a brave leap, but it's not her best." Before I make my post, I open up another tab (because my attention is lost quickly), and see that the DM has updated the thread with the chasm's exact width. It is 20 feet. I check my Player's Handbook (PHB) because I don't know yet that a horizontal Jump DC is equal to feet jumped, with a running start. Not only is Jurtta's jump check far too low, she didn't even get a running start (which means she really had no chance). I know for certain that she failed and how she failed, so my final post describes how she didn't even come close to clearing the chasm and she falls nearly 120 feet (because the DM told me how deep it was). I also know that, being level 1, she can not survive, because she has 10 CON. I end my post with her grisly impact.

Dice Roll:

(as this is an older post, these rolls are interpreted by the older (more basic) dice roller code)
d20-4:	(2) - 4	Total = -2

(This is my roll to check if I can figure out the rolling system correctly)

d20+1:	(17) + 1	Total = 18

And I guess the time it would take as well...
