Dice

You can now use dice using the following format:

Code:
[dice=X]Y[/dice]
X - The number of dice to roll, This cannot be larger then 5 currently, though this may change.
Y - The number of sides on the dice.
So what's the point of this? Well, that's really for someone more clever than me to come up with, isn't it? It could lend itself to some sort of game pretty easily.

One could do IRC-style roleplaying easily, if you extended it up to 20.

Still, RPG forum could use this.

Hmm this could be applied to certain fights in the Gunjin if the members want to use the dice to see if a certain attack would hit or how much damage a certain post will cause.....

^ Personally I envisaged a tournament where there were 6 levels of attack (miss, block, light, heavy, med, kill or something), and at the end of each post the person rolled the dice to determine the level of the other person's attack. Judging would be based on writing quality still, not how the dice turned out.

Thats a great idea, though in the end both options could be used at the discretion of the participants.

Sounds good for the Roleplaying Forum. Cool. Of course we'd need dice with more sides, and using ironygames is easier, but whatever.
