Combat sims or apps?

[mosker]

Anyone know of any before I try to create (been a few years since I wrote a line of code [REDACTED obstacles]). Want to start playtesting for balance some solo encounters...quickly.

I have a Libre Office Spreadsheet that tallys up dice to roll + adds for a list of MRs and includes average roll. I can clean up my game-specific stuff (Such as the TTYF calculation) and upload if you want!

Please! (Did not think about just a spreadsheet--the only thing "professional" (rather than competent) about my coding career was the need to overcomplicate things. And I bet there's a way to recalculate things in a loop...sigh, there I go again

Here you go: drive.google.com/file/d/1JtbuC5MKmxnlMKw6GhpIORRkymozI1Iy/view?usp=sharing

Tomorrow I should have some time to convert it to a Google Sheet as well so you wouldn't have to download Libre Office. Would be useful for those without full pcs available!

Finished up the Google Sheets version, with instructions and color coded cells to show which ones you shouldn't touch if you like the calculations
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1X8xO9aEKZkncvOv3QxVmUiMaeebYlvHUXMkxOW6Nk9g/edit?usp=sharing

And for future proofing - anyone reading this in the future and that link does not work for whatever reason please email me at terminalgoblingames[at]gmail[dot]com and I will get you whichever copy you want.

Nice.  Easy to use/understand.  I use a self-created semi-automated excel character sheet and have added this as a reference tab. Thank you!

Is there a way to add a minimum roll possible score, along with the average?

for example:

MR	DICE	ADDS		TOTAL ROLL:	4D6+18
36	4	18		AVERAGE ROLL:	32 (22)
				Party Total Damage Dice	35
				Party Adds:	65
				Party Average Roll:	187.5

With the red number in the bracket being the lowest possible number you can roll.

Done! If you click the link above you'll see a new tab that says "Combat sheet w/minimum rolls" that has those improvements added. Left the original in case anyone didn't like how it looked
