[Feature Request] Non-numeric dice support

Open aramis-erak opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

It would be nice to be able to use alternate dice images/results, such as FFG's and Modiphius' games custom dice, and the alternate results values for games using count successes on x+ or x-

A number of systems use fixed TN per die count successes. having a success count option for these just means adding a popup for TN and for direction. Shadowrun, WH40K Wrath and Glory...

Several have multiple result stages:

  • Burning wheel has 3 outcomes per d6: 0S, 1S, 1S+conditionally added die.
  • WoD has 4 outcomes -1S, 0S, 1S, 1S+added die
  • Year Zero has two games using extra successes (Forbidden Lands, Twilight 2000 4e); FL 1 on 6-7, 2 on 8-9, 3 on 10-11, and 4 on 12, used with d6, d8, d10, d12. T2K 1 on 6-9, 2 on 10+. Most YZE games also have a complication on 1's.
  • d6's in Modiphius' 2d20 system are D6 =[1,0],[2,0],[0,0],[0,0],[1,1],[1,1] (this is in [damage,effect] sets
  • d20's in 2d20 also have four outcome states, but only 2 axis: 2 successes, 1 success, no success, complication. All three values are different by roll.
  • d6's and d12 in FFG's L5R 5E use 4 output values in combinations; Explosive successes, successes (including explosives), opportunity, strife.

Giving GMs the option to customise the dice are already on the TODO list.
