Dice Roller Link
This came up in the "Dynamic Character Sheets" thread, but I thought it deserved its own topic.
I would like the ability to create a link to the dice roller (for the game that you're in) with the dice-roller fields to be filled in (as many as are specified, with a keyword available for every field).
For instance, in my d20 game, I request that the players roll initiative, attack, and damage all in one roll, so as not to flood the dice roller log. I even put in their character sheet the correct roll for different circumstances, such as
Walther PPK: d20+2,d20+4,2d6
It would be cool if I could put in their sheet something like:
<dice manual="d20+2,d20+4,2d6" character="James Bond">Walther PPK</dice>
This would be seen as a link in the sheet when it isn't in edit mode, and the link would bring you to the dice roller (for the game that the document is part of) with all the fields filled in already. The user would just have to fill in any additional fields (like 'Reason for roll') and click roll.
While I'm wishing, I'd like the character keyword to have a special meaning, in that the value assigned to it is applied EITHER to the 'Character' field or to the 'On behalf of' field, which ever one has such a value available. (If neither do, then just ignore it.)
