This module provides a new dice type which represents a risk die. Rolling a risk die ist just rolling a number of dice combined with s special way of calculating the total:

• If there are either two 1s or a 1 and a 2 in the results, the total sum is 1 + 1 or 1 + 2 respectively.
• Otherwise, the total result is the sum of the 2 highest results.

/roll dr # Roll a risk die.

npm run build:watch

to watch for changes and automatically build as necessary.

Linking the built module to Foundry VTT

In order to provide a fluent development experience, it is recommended to link the built system to your local Foundry VTT installation's data folder. In order to do so, first add a file called foundryconfig.json to the project root with the following content:

{
    "dataPath": "<path to your home directory>/.local/share/FoundryVTT"
}

On platforms other than Linux you need to adjust the path accordingly.

Then run

npm run link
