Random Varibles

19 years ago
How do you make random varibles? Can you change them to where you put in 8 and 93 and it randomly picks a number between that? It would make it easier. How do I make it so that I get a varible between 85 and 100? I can't figure our how? 85 and 150 also. Changing it to so I put in 85-100 would work best. I wouldn't need to know a million multiplication facts.

Problem with a range is you can't weight it.  On 85-100 you have an equally high change of getting 85, 86, ... , 100. The idea with dice is you can weight outliers. On 3D6, you're most likely to get the numbers in the middle than a "3" or a "6". If you want a number in a range, you'll have to do 1D50, then on another page add 50. That would give you a range of 50 to 100.

Ok, but how do I use them?

In the variable changes (the +- looking button next to each link), just enter 1D20 (or whatever) for the amount.

I looked there but couldn't find it. Also, is it possible to do two step varible changes like Add 85 and then add 1d15?

Without using two pages?

At this point no. You would need to use 2 pages.
