TOS+ Dice Roller
Introduction
Created by user marc4darkskies, the TOS+ Dice Roller (referred as TDR) is an Excel workbook developed for TOS+ that interfaces with up to 5x TOS+ character workbooks and extracts all relevant combat statistics for dynamic play. It also contains statistics for all SRD 3.5 Creatures. It can also be used standalone, without importing TOS+ character sheet info.
When using TOS+ sheets dynamically, all standard melee combat dice rolls are handled based on the statistics for each character / Creature contained within the TDR workbook.
TDR has been tested on Office 365 for TOS+ versions 5.137 and later using 3.5 and Pathfinder rules. PF testing has been somewhat limited, but it seems to be working fine. So please, PF players, report any problems discovered!
TDR SUMMARY
- Uses highly random functions to roll dice as opposed to the very non-random VBA functions
- Will issue reassuring sounds when buttons are pressed to indicate processing has completed. I even created my own real-life dice-rolling-on-wooden-table sounds!!
- Can load up to 5 TOS+ characters (.xlsb files)
- Can operate without needing to load TOS+ characters to roll ad-hoc characters or effects
- Can select from 3 predefined default “Combat” sheet layouts – “TOS Only”, “Ad-Hoc Only” and “TOS and Ad-Hoc”
- Will pull all relevant info from any loaded TOS+ workbooks and enable character dice rolls for Attack, Damage, Init and Saves, Ability, Action Points and Skills.
- When NOT using loaded TOS+ sheets, all combat parameters are derived from the characters and effects defined in the “Ad-Hoc” sheet Allows definition of up to 150 Creatures, NPCs, spells & effects via an “Ad-Hoc” character table. TOS+ character sheets are NOT required for ad-hoc attack and damage rolls.
- Will keep the last 40 “Combat” sheet rolls in a "History" table with detailed descriptions
- In a separate “Dice” sheet, will display 1,120 dice rolls plus the sum of those rolls within 8 “Effect” panels containing 20 rolls for each of 7 dice. The “Effect” panels enable 8 distinct (non-repeating) dice rolls for damage effects per player character weapon as well as 8 ad-hoc and characters/effects – ie nearly zero risk of duplicate rolls being seen
- Rolls and/or tracks initiative, initiative order and damage inflicted for all Ad-hoc characters / creatures. Manual initiative entry is allowed.
- Contains statistics for about 700 (mostly SRD) Creatures which can be added to an ad-hoc character table and used for combat dice rolls.
- Can filter and select creatures from the built-in TDR creature database (approx. 700 mostly SRD creatures) to enable Attack, Damage, Initiative and Save rolls
- Can create, modify and delete creatures within the built-in TDR creature database.
