user warning: Table './biermanb_drpl1/accesslog' is marked as crashed and should be repaired query: INSERT INTO accesslog (title, path, url, hostname, uid, sid, timer, timestamp) values('User\\View Info', 'node/209', '', '38.107.179.242', 0, '18442992ba6a19d6e91f06f1ec142c15', 125, 1328808766) in /home/biermanb/public_html/modules/statistics/statistics.module on line 64.

Was thinking that it'd be rather nice to be able to add a comment when rolling dice, so everyone knows what its for, also would be good in secret rolls so the DM, when asking for multiple rolls from the same player, knows which is which without needing to ask the player or look at the character sheets if they have them to see what has a particular modifier.

so instead of /roll xdy+/-z

it would be

/roll xdy+/-z "comment"

that could appear in [ ]s on the screen after the total for the rolls.

so /roll 1d20+3 "Attacking"

** Nickname scored 12 Total 15 from 1d20: [Attacking]

Also, a satistic roller script would be great, maybe in the dice button with a menu of 'Statistics' and then a selection of things like 3d6, 4d6 disregard lowest, 5d6 disregard lowest 2, and it rolls those 6 times and tells what the actual stats are, maybe even at the end, so:

Dice ---> Satsistics ---> 4d6, disregard lowest:

** Statistic rolling from Nickname: 3 4 5 2 Total 14 Statistic 12
** Statistic rolling from Nickname: 6 6 6 5 Total 23 Statistic 18
** Statistic rolling from Nickname: 3 2 1 1 Total 7 Statistic 6
** Statistic rolling from Nickname: 6 3 2 4 Total 15 Statistic 13
** Statistic rolling from Nickname: 5 4 1 2 Total 12 Statistic 11
** Statistic rolling from Nickname: 6 6 5 1 Total 18 Statistic 17
* Statistics rolled by Nickname: 12/18/6/13/11/17 Rolling 4d6 disregarding the lowest result.

And to make sure it isnt spammy, make it so it can only be used in private rooms and can be seen by the player and the DM (or just the DM if they are the ones rolling).

Perhaps even a part of the macro's suboptions would be good for specific extra rolling scripts (ie 4d6 disregard lowest for first 5, 14+ 1d4 for last, and add a note saying the last is the 'special' sort of roll) This idea may not be very easy to impliment however (the macro separate dicing thing).

Yeah, just an idea.

Probably not. Not presently feasible.
