Feedback ยท Expanded dice rolls (implemented)

So, right now, rolling a group of dice provides a single result at the end. However, for some systems, the roll of each die is important -- dice pools for number of successes (rolls above x value), for instance. I propose that if the roll is preceded by a certain identifier, perhaps #, it will show the individual rolls as well as the total.

Systems I can think of that use this: World of Darkness and Underground

I have nothing against this but it will have to be limited, as dice rolls can be quite large on litphoria and would take up quite a lot of space.

So I'm thinking of a "verbose" flag on rolls that'll restrict a roll to some number of die, then show out the output manually:

3d6 verbose + 2d10

Would render as

Wrecked Avent rolls 3d6 + 2d10 and gets 23! (1 + 2 + 3 + 20)

There might be shortcuts to this, like:

3d6v

You'd be able to determine that just by the place in the expanded solution:

Wrecked Avent rolls 3d6 verbose + 2d10 and gets 23! (1 + 2 + 3 + 20)

The first three rolls are part of the 3d6 verbose roll.
