I did make a minor change, so that anything you type after the roll is repeated by the bot, like:<br /><br /> <i>:roll d6 poison damage</i><br /><br />would cause the bot to say<br /><br /> <i>Paul rolls d8 = 2 poison damage</i>Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12096724870715714696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066179905250164861.post-35709400587387467142010-10-14T18:23:24.557-04:002010-10-14T18:23:24.557-04:00Awesome!
