In reply to soulsight (msg # 5):
I'm playing around with this one of my games. It's leading me to wonder if symbols of inclusion might alter the behavior somewhat by changing the precedence of operations?
It will be interesting to see... hmm.

It doesn't swap the sign. Once you subtract rolled dice, any further rolled dice will be subtracted no matter what sign is used.
In the example stated earlier:

For example: 14-3d6,3d6,1d6+1 I expected to see results like 3, 13, 4 (all positive values)
Instead I get: rolled 9,-10,-4 using 14-3d6,3d6,1d6+1 with rolls of 3,1,1,3,3,4,5.
If the three results stand separately (that is, they do not chain together), then I see correct results: (14-5 = 9, -(3+3+4) = -10, and (-5)+1 = -4. This is what you meant earlier, am I right?
Yeah, this opens up an entire new line of investigation into Dice Roller syntax.
