I play Exalted (role playing game like D and D). Anyone know of any PPC software for rolling dice. W?BIC Exalted uses all 10 sided dice and you roll a number of dice depending on the situation. Rolls of 7 or higher are success. In the game you could roll 30+ dice and have to keep track of all the successes. Ideal software would allow me to specify the number of dice to roll and just give me a display back of how many dice came up at each number.

I could find Ein's Dice Roller (http://www.ppc4all.com/appdetail.php?id=2947), then there's a free PocketDiceRoller (http://www.freewareppc.com/games/pocketdiceroller.shtml)

Don't know if these have the features you're looking for though.

Thanks, Ein's looks like it might do it, have an e-mail into the developer to find out if it does.

There's also PocketDice, another freeware dice roller at http://amurgsval.org/weregamer, which is pretty good, and very configurable.

[edit] I just had a play with pocketdice, and it will do exactly what you want it to do. I was able to recreate your example above easily (18 successes out of 30, not bad 8) )

I remember seeing a ton of them over at ppcfreewares....

Thanks.

Ommadwan, that software is ALMOST perfect. What I did not mention is that the number of dice rolled can vary highly, so there are not enough "macros" on the main screen to cover all combos. Still, I will program in the common ones and give it a try my next game. Have not decided if it will be more or less satisfying than rolling a ton of dice.
