Great piece of software. Really useful probability utility. One thing I would like to see added is “exploding dice” as used in the Savage Worlds RPG system. This is where, when a die rolls a maximum number, it is rolled again
(i.e. 1d6 = 6, roll again 1d6 = 5: total = 6+5 = 11). This is probably really complicated, but would be very useful.

“i want”
how about where the precent and fraction selections are one just for possible combinations?
like on 2d6 if you said =7 for roll total it shows a 6. for 3d6 =10 or 11 it shows a 27, etc.
also the total possible combinations of results. ie 2d6 = 36, 3d6 = 216, etc
so you dont see fractions such as (67963/839635) but the actual number of ways to get it.

i like this little thing, it has been very helpful for figuring out probabilities.

This is a wonderful program. I have been working hard designing dice games and I can see
that I can put my calculator away! I have been looking for something like this that accepted
multiple die configurations for quite some time. Thanks for all your hard work!! –Beth
