Dice Notation
XdN
Roll X number of N-sided dice and add the individual sums together. This is pretty normal. You may combine dice rolls with plus or minus operators as well as static numbers, like 2d6+1d8 or 1d20+5-1d4. A die code of just dN is valid and is treated as 1dN. dF is supported as well, where F is a Fudge/FATE die.
XdN.hi
Roll X number of N-sided dice and return the highest individual die result. 3d6.hi where the three d6s roll 2, 4, and 4 will return 4.
XdN.lo
As XdN.hi, but returns the lowest individual die result.
XdN.open
An open-ended XdN roll, where if the maximum value of any die is N, an additional die is rolled and added to the individual die result for as long as that die keeps rolling N. Note: The verbose results do not include all subsequent open-ended rolls. Sorry.
hi(XdN,XdN)
Returns the highest result from all the comma-separated die rolls within parentheses. For example, to do a Savage Worlds Wild Card roll with a skill of d10 and a +2 modifier, you would use the following notation: hi(d10.open+2,d6.open+2)
lo(XdN,XdN)
Yep, you guessed it. Returns the lowest thingywinger from the comma-separated die rolls.
ore(Xd10)
Notation for the One-Roll Engine (ORE). Returns all dice rolled, organized into matched sets and sorted by Width (the number of matching dice) by Height (the number on the die). For Expert/Hard Dice, just use the plus sign: ore(4d10+10). There is no way to represent Wiggle/Master/Trump Dice nor does it make sense for it to do so.
XdN;XdN
Separate individual rolls with semicolons.

How Do I Make a Subforum?
Not my proudest UI moment, and this is something that may be changed down the line.
Go into the thread where you wish to make a subforum. Reply to that thread and set the post's subject and body to serve as the subforum title and description. Then after submitting that reply, click the dropdown menu for that individual post and choose "View". Replying to the post from that page will tell the forum to use the prospective subforum post as a subforum and not just another reply.
