Inline rolls

Use [[notation]] mid-sentence to inline a roll. The composer turns it into a small chip that pre-rolls when you send.

I draw my bow [[1d20+5]] and let fly...
She rolls a sneak [[2d20kh1+8]] from the shadows.
The fireball deals [[8d6]] damage to anyone in the blast.

When you send, each chip becomes the rolled result inline. Hovering shows the original notation and breakdown; the chip carries the full audit trail so you can verify any roll later.

[[X]] is dual-purpose:

  • If X looks like dice notation (1d6+2, 2d20kh1+8, 8d6), the chip becomes an inline roll.
  • Otherwise it’s treated as an entity reference.

So [[1d6+2]] rolls; [[Aerin]] links the entity. There’s no ambiguity in practice — dice notation and entity names don’t overlap.

  • Inline — narrative flavour, low-stakes “I just want to see a number.” Reads as part of the sentence.
  • Card (/r) — the rolled value matters, you’d like the flavour, the GM might call for verification, or the result will be referenced later (a damage card, an attack roll).

Mechanically they’re the same dice — pick whichever reads better.
