TOSFive Dice Roller
Introduction
Created by user marc4darkskies, the TOSFive Dice Roller (referred as TDRFive) is an Excel macro driven workbook developed for TOSFive.
Primary Goals of TDRFive
- Enable hassle free digital dice rolling for more streamlined dynamic play. The need to find, roll and add up physical dice for attack, damage, ability, skills and save rolls (among others) is eliminated. Damaging spells and other rolled spell effects can also be defined or selected from a TOSFive sheet so that they can be automatically rolled.
- Free DMs from using manual notes during an encounter Creature / character initiatives, combat order and damage received can be tracked and combat attacks for up to 150 creatures’ or other ad-hoc effects can be automatically rolled.
For Players
TDRFive will interface automatically with up to five TDRFive sheets to facilitate attack, damage, ability, skills and save rolls (among others). Damaging spell effects within the players sheets can also be defined or selected so that they can be automatically rolled.
For DMs
Creature / character initiatives and dice rolls for up to 150 NPCs and creatures’ weapon attacks or other effects can be tracked. The DM can create new creatures / NPCs or select creatures from the built-in creature database (so far about 320 creatures and growing). Creatures can be created, edited, or deleted and utilised for combat dice rolls and their full stat blocks including images and web links are viewable.
DMs can also easily select and save one or more creature images (without stat block info) to a suitable network location for player characters to view.
Compatibility
TDRFive has been tested and is fully functional on Office 365. Although reports indicate it will work on Excel 2019, there may be some issues.
Main Features
1) All combat and ad-hoc sheet d20 rolls have 3 options. Normal, Advantage and Disadvantage
2) The ad-hoc sheet, by necessity, is more complex to cater for how 5e handles saves, and abilities
3) The creature editing facility on the ad-hoc sheet now requires two popups
4) There are now 365 creatures to choose from in the built-in database
5) Ad-hoc sheet entries for creatures, NPCs and other attacks can be individually specified as having a sneak attack
6) Individual sneak attacks for ad-hoc creatures/NPCs can be invoked only within the combat sheet after they have been enabled there
7) For those playing with "crunchy crits", the option is there on the combat sheet to enable them
8) The History sheet contains a comprehensive history of the last 50 dice rolls done via the "Combat" sheet
9) The combat sheet can be configired to play only TOSFive sheets, TOSFive sheets plus ad-hoc characters/creatures or only ad-hoc characters/creatures
10) The dice sheet that is present in the TOS+ version was made redundant in this version and is gone
