Risk Dice Modifier

An implementation of risk rolls as found for example in the Splittermond game system.

This module provides a new dice modifier ri for regular Dice. This modifier causes the dice roller to keep / drop dice according to the following rules:

• If there are either two 1s or a 1 and a 2 in the results, keep only these dice.
• Otherwise, keep the two dice with the highest results.

/roll 4d10ri # Roll 4d10 in risk die mode

You also need to install the the project's dependencies. To do so, run

npm install

Building

You can build the project by running

npm run build

Alternatively, you can run

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
