Originally designed to specifically suit the needs of the League of Lordaeron (Moon Guard), DiceMaster has gradually grown in functionality over time, and the unexpected interest of the larger roleplaying community has prompted our team to release an public version of the addon.
A special thanks to Rennae-Moon Guard for their help writing essential code for DiceMaster and bringing it to CurseForge!
The primary goal of DiceMaster is to improve and simplify the use of "combat systems" in the roleplay community. DiceMaster provides players with the tools to create tabletop-style roleplaying events which include:
Design custom, character-specific traits to represent your character's unique abilities and bonuses. You can add custom buff effects, inspect other players' traits, and even link them in chat.
Use the Dice Panel (or the /dice command) to roll in standard D20 notation with multiple dice, up to 13,476 sides, and a custom modifier. Even group members without DiceMaster can see these rolls!
Track your character's health and other custom resources with intuitive status bars. You can choose a different look for this resource, inspect other players' health and resources, and more.
Commands
/dicemaster config
/dicemaster scale (number)
/dicemaster (show | hide)
/dicemaster charges (show | hide)
/dicemaster chargesname (name)

Any possibility you can add some kind of spell tracker for Dicemaster? For example, I'm naturally inclined to avoid using Cooldown spells because I would have to keep track of turn order, though if you added in some kind of tracker + turn system that could indicate which spells are up/the cooldown remaining on spells then that'd be really useful.
Another issue is with buffs/debuffs since I have to keep track of those outside of the addon. Perhaps you can somehow make the option to link a sub-ability (buff/debuff) to the core ability, and of course include the turn tracker so you know how long it will be applied to the ally/enemy. Here's an example:
Ignite: Surround an enemy with flames, causing the enemy to be Ignited for 3 turns.
Ignited: You receive Fire Damage every turn, dealing 5% of your Maximum Health per turn over the duration.
I've noticed on the current Release version (and the beta) it is preventing me from selecting a model. I have attempted to see if it is a conflict between it and other addons, and it is not.

Should be fixed in the latest beta version (5.1.1).

Hey! I have been interested in Dicemaster for a while, but mostly using it for building my own little things :) Great addon!
I wanted to ask if it was possible to somehow add an option for detailed roll descriptions, because right now,
we get :
-> '' X rolled Y (dice+bonus) "
My guild works with 'natural' crits, meaning that, even if I roll a 90 with the +25, it doesn't count as a crit because the base roll was a 75.
Is there a way to incorporate this in a way that we get:
-> " X rolled A+B, total C (Dice + bonus)
Maybe a tickbox that says ''detailed rolls'' or something.
In any case, wonderful addon, hope to use it more in the future :)
Just wanted to take a moment to thank the creators of this addon for providing such a great interface to allow our RP campaigns to be much more immersive and involved. I've been the dungeon master for our campaign that has lasted over eight months, and I really couldn't do it in a visually cohesive way without this addon. It's really a great addition to the RP community and I cannot recommend it enough.
That being said, would love it if we could get the model selector fixed -- it's such a great part of the addon and our group definitely misses it.
Thanks again!

Both me and a guild mate have had problems creating new NPCs. I tried on several characters on our main server group, with no luck. However, when I tried on a different server, it worked just fine.
Hey there! Let me just start this off by saying I love this addon, it has been incredibly useful for my guild. However I've run into some difficulties trying to make some NPCs for my newest campaign.
I'm not sure which ones I was hitting, but I selected an NPC and got a fatal error message which crashed my game, and I had lost the characters I had been making for the campaign. So I logged in again and tried a different NPC, and got the same issue -- I believe it was one of the water elementals I was trying to select when it crashed. However, I've now run into an issue where everything else works on the UI, except for the NPC model selection. I'll click the select model button, and no new box comes up for me to pick a model from.
I've had to uninstall and reinstall the mod to get it to work long enough for me to make the NPCs I need to for the campaign, but that is in no way a longterm fix for me. If theres anything you can do or if you can look into this issue, please do! I really want to keep using this addon especially for the NPC feature, but I'm just having a hell of a time trying to get it to work for me.
Really excited to start using this addon for my guild, however it appears that the Model selection functionality for UnitFrames is currently broken for me. My guess is that it is due to the recent patch (8.2). I've disabled all other addons and still receive an error: "Action[SetPoint] failed because [SetPoint would result in anchor family connection]: attempted from: DiceMasterModelPicker:SetPoint. Hoping to see an update that resolves this if it does turn out to be a common bug!
Hello! I have a big favor to ask.
One of my guiildmates has anxiety relating to the typing tracker tracking his typing and displaying it to everyone else, whether or not he has the actual tracker enabled himself. Is there a way you could add a toggle (or change the existing tracker toggle) to keep the addon from tracking the user's typing?
Ever since Unit Frames were added, Dicemaster never remembers my setting to disable them.
Any time I end up party leader, a big empty Dicemaster unit frame pops up on my screen that I cannot get rid of without going into the Dicemaster settings and disabling unit frames again.
This happens on any character of any level no matter if I have Unit Frames disabled when I log in or not.
Also, once this happens, the frame persists across characters, so not even logging out will get rid of it.
It would be a really awesome if you somehow could add not just addition but multiplication and division with statistics as one of the D20 notation variables.
I would also want to ask some thibgs, is it possible for one trait to have multiple buffs / debuffs? So far I can't make that work. How do I create an charge bar with more value than 8, and how do I create more progress bar?
In reply to TheGroxEmpire:
A single trait can only apply one buff. The Charges bar is limited to a value of 8. There is only one Progress Bar.
Hello! As of the new update, I have been playing with the functions. I leveled up one of my players by accident and want to delevel them but it won't let me type the RESET command in the field. Did I mess something up or miss a command?
In reply to Eleantha2:
Hello, since the last update of dicemaster, I can't interact with the guild features. When I want to up or down the rank of a member of my guild, I've this message that appears:
"Dicemaster has been blocked due to an action that is only usable by the Blizzard UI, you can disable this addon and restart the UI."
A suggestion?
