rollWithUpper

rollWithUpper() Function

Generates random numbers to emulate dice rolls. Returns the total of a dice roll where each die that rolled higher than the maximum parameter is counted as that value instead.

Usage

rollWithUpper(times, sides, maximum)

Parameters

• times - The number of times to roll the dice.
• sides - The number of sides the dice possess.
• maximum - The maximum value that each individual die can contribute to the total.

Examples

Roll five twenty-sided dice. Any rolls above 16 are treated as 16.

[t: rollWithUpper(5, 20, 16)]

Returns a number that is between 5 and 80 (and no longer up to 100 as with a regular 5d20 roll).
