Label Dice Rolls

Feature Upgrade · Campaign manager · Created by Joystick1898

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

When using the Dice Roller in the Live Screen, if there is a dice roll made through the character sheet by clicking on, let's say, a skill check, it's not clear on the Stream what that dice roll was for.    

How does this feature request address the current situation?

If a dice roll is made by clicking a field in the character sheet, it should be labeled in the dice stream based on the name of that field.  For example, if you've made an attack for one of your cantrips, when you click the dice rolling button on your character sheet for that attack it would show on the live dice stream as:  [Shocking Grasp] 1d20+5 = [6]+5 = 11 (Or however it's currently formatted.)   There could also be formatting in the manual entry bot that will allow for labeling.  

What are other uses for this feature request?

This could be used for a number of different game systems besides D&D and is particularly useful when sharing your Live Screen with an audience while streaming.

The Team's Response

Partially Accepted   This received somewhat low support but I will investigate if there is a good easy solution to be implemented.   Jarissa: I will see also on labelling the dice roll code.

    Alternatively I would love to see this as something that gets written into the roll bbcode on the character sheet, something like (open bracket)roll:1d20+5|Miro Teague's Shocking Grasp|+5(close bracket) which I suppose I am presuming here that the character sheet template will insert character name into the correct spot. This way if I use the button on NPC character sheets, I know not just which spell result is is being represented, but also which character got what result among several NPCs and PCs all conflicting at once.
