Murphy's Law (Dice Thread)

For those who don't know it, Murphy's Law: whatever can go wrong, will go wrong.

I would appreciate it if you specify all bonuses applied to rolls either here or in your game thread post so I can check what you're doing, please and thank you. (So, for a skill check, tell me which modifier and background.)

Some Advanced Diceroller TipsTheme Relationship Dice
When you roll d6 for each Icon point you have (currently three), you can use the code "d6sch5" inside your dice tags to get a little checkmark next to 5s and 6s (the useful rolls), and a little cross next to 6s. I also recommend the multiplier feature "2x" or "3x" before your die roll if you're rolling more than one die per Icon, because that will keep them from getting added together (which is useless for this particular roll). Example: [dice="Archmage, 2 conflicted"]2x d6sch5[/dice]
Dice Archmage, 2 conflicted:
d6sch5 6 (natural 6)  
d6sch5 1 (natural 1)  
Dice Archmage, 2 conflicted:
d6sch5 5
d6sch5 1 (natural 1)  

Attack Rolls and Skill Checks
I will give you the target numbers for all enemies in combat and a DC for all skill checks. That means you can use the code "d20sch15" inside your dice tags to get a success checkmark and a critical hit mark. You can also add a space and your damage die with the letter "g" after it (ie. "2d6+2g") to automatically roll damage if you hit. For an enemy with AC 15, you could roll the following: [dice=Longsword Attack +5]d20+5sch15 2d8+2g[/dice]
Dice Longsword Attack +5:
d20+5sch15 (19)+5 Total = 24
→ 2d8+2g (2, 6)+2 Total = 10

[dice=Skill Check, DC 15: +3 Level, +3 Strength, +2 Background]d20+3+3+2sch15[/dice]
Dice Skill Check, DC 15: +3 Level, +3 Strength, +2 Background:
d20+3+3+2sch15 (5)+3+3+2 Total = 13

Chaos Magic
[dice=Spell Determination: Attack, Defense, Iconic]d6rc1,3[/dice]
Dice Spell Determination: Attack, Defense, Iconic:
d6rc1,3 4 (Rerolls: rerolled 1,3)
