What: Katrinity's 3.0 DnD Game, The Maiden of Pain.

Where: On the Evercrest IRC Server, in the #MaidenofPain and #MoPOOC channels.

When: 7:00 PM Eastern Coast Time.

Why: To have a good time, roleplay, and cause 'its time to slay the dragon!'

How: An IRC Chat Program. I recommend mIRC. For Dice Rolls, I'll be using a IRC Dice Bot.

Dice Rolling Instructions:

To roll dice on a channel, the syntax is:

roll {sets}{#}{dice}[d][sides] {description}

The parameters in {} brackets are optional. Specifying "sets" indicates that you want to roll multiple groups of dice and get the results of each group displayed separately. You must follow the number of sets with a pound sign. The "dice" parameter indicates how many dice you want to roll in a group, and defaults to 1 if you do not specify a value. The "sides" parameter indicates how many sides are on the dice you want to roll.

Examples:

<Abraxas> roll d6
*Dicebot --> Abraxas rolls a d6 and gets 5.
<Abraxas> roll 2#d6
*Dicebot --> Abraxas rolls 2#d6 and gets 2, 6.

You can use the symbols + and - to apply modifiers to a dice roll. For example:

<Abraxas> roll d20+5+2+7

You can use the * symbol to apply a multiplier to a roll, such as when you get a critical hit, etc. For example:

<Abraxas> roll 1d8*3

The multiplier is applied to the number of dice and any modifier, just as specified by the D&D 3rd Edition rules. If you apply successive multipliers, each one after the first has one less than its value added to the first multiplier. For example:

<Abraxas> roll d10*5*4*3

The final value used as the multiplier would be 5 + ( 4 - 1 ) + ( 3 - 1 ) = 5 + 3 + 2 = 10.

You may specify an optional description following the dice commands, which will be echoed in the output. For example:

<Abraxas> roll d20+3 attempting to slash an orc
*Dicebot --> Abraxas rolls a d20+3 attempting to slash an orc and gets 12.

Sneak Attacks
The sneak attack is a special case in D&D3e, and this bot accounts for it. To make a sneak attack damage roll, syntax is:

sneak [bonus damage] {sets}{#}{dice}[d][sides] {description}

Bonus damage is a dice expression indicating damage to be added after the regular dice roll is made. For example:

<Abraxas> sneak 3d6 1d10+5*2

Here, the 1d10+5*2 part gets resolved, then has 3d6 added to it for the final result.

Sending Dice Rolls Privately
If you want to send the result of a roll privately to someone, the syntax is:

/msg [theBot] sendrollto [SoandSo] [dice commands] {description}

where the suggestively named words inside brackets are replaced with the actual information they allude to. For example:

/msg KatBot sendrollto theGM d20+4 trying to psionically explode a monkey

where "KatBot" is the dicebot's nick, and "theGM" is the person you want to send the roll to.

You can send private sneak attack rolls to someone, using:

/msg [theBot] sendsneakto [SoandSo] [dice commands] {description}
