Savage Worlds Dice Rolls

Let's first see the simpliest rolls for Savage Worlds Extra and Wild Cards. But, in the Avanced section below, we will see more complex rolls as well as rolls for other systems, including D20 initiative.

Simple rolls

To roll a single die (no Acing), you can use the roll (or r for short) command, or even simply use the die as command d4, d6, d8, d10 or d12.

For example, you need to know in which direction a grenade deviates?

!r d12

or for short:

!d12

Tips:

• In fact, you can just roll any die !d20, !d100, even very weird ones !d73 if you feel like it!
• You can also directly include modifiers (after or before the roll), for example, here is a human running roll !6+d6.

Extra Trait rolls

Traits roll do Ace (if the die hits its max, you roll another one and add it, until no more die aces). For extra, use the e command.

For example, lets roll a Fighting d6 for a bandit extra:

!e6

The result will directly display the sum of the dices. You won't see each individual ones. Here, on a d4, we got 4, then 2:

> e6: 8 = 8 (success; 1 raise)

You also see whether you got a success or a raise.

Tips You can directly add modifiers to the roll, like a -2 (dim light) penalty to Shooting !e8-2, or Combat Reflexes adding +2 to recover from Shaken !e6+2. Untrained would be !e4-2.

Wildcard Trait rolls

Wild Cards do roll a "Wild Die" (usually a d6) next to their Trait and keep the highest of both. Use s command.

For example, let's have Player Character Huey rolls for Persuasion:

!s8

This will not only display the highest total to keep, but also individual rolls, so you know whether you got Snake Eyes, or if you hit Innocent Bystanders.

> s8: [4; w5] = 5 (success)

'w' for the Wild Die roll.

Success and Raise are also shown.

> s4: [21; w5] = 21 (success; 4 raises)

Oops, Snake Eyes!

> s12: [1; w1] = 1

Tips: Modifiers are also supported. Let's take a Wild Card untrained Trait roll: !s4-2.

Damage rolls

Damage is a sum of all dices, so we won't be using e or s but d as most dice roller program uses. However, since we want the dice to Ace, we add a ! near the end.

Exploding d6:

!d6!

You can roll multiple dice and sum them up. Here is d6 Strength bandit wielding a knife (Str+d4):

!d6!+d4!

Here is an assassin wielding a bow (2d6):

!2d6!

Tips: Modifiers workds too. Cast smite on that bow: !2d6!+2.

Savage Worlds Initiative

Start a fight

To start a fight use the fight or f command:

!f

This shuffles deck and resets (clears) initiative tracker.

Deal cards

To deal cards to one or more characters, use di followed by the characters' names. Those are not the discord names of the players, but really the character names or nicknames, and NPC names.

!di Huey Dewey Bandits Wolves

Tips: Remove spaces from their name (or they will be considered multiple characters). Keep the character names short, like one word, you might have to type them more than once.

Quick, Level Headed, and Hesitant

For characters with such Edges/Hindrances, when dealing cards to them, follow their name with -q (for Quick), -l (for Level Headed), -i (for Improved Level Headed), or -h (for Hesistant).

!di Huey -q Dewey Bandits -h Assassin -i

Tips: When a player has Level Headed and Improved Level Headed, you only add -i.

Tactician, Card for a Benny

If you need to deal a new card to a character, because of an Edge, or they spend a benny, or whatever reason, use card command.

!card Dewey

Show Initiative

When you need to pick again at the initiative tracker, run the init command (init for initiative, not for initialize!) :

!init

New Round

round let's you move into next round of combat. This will remove cards from the initiative tracker, shuffle the deck if a Joker was dealt on previous round. By default, all characters are also removed from the tracker. However, if you add + after the command, you keep the characters and deal them new cards (applying their edges if they had).

!rd +

Add new characters

A new contendent joins the fray? Well, simply deal them a card with di.

!di Scrooge

Remove characters

Someone is dead or fled? You made a typo in their name? Whenever you need to remove someone from the initiative tracker, use drop followed by the character names.

!drop Huey Bandits

Oh, you can also do that when you start a new round, by adding the character names prefixed by - to the rd command.

!rd + -Bandits

Put character On Hold

If some character wants to wait for good moment, use hold command.

!hold LastActionHero

To return to fight - use the same command with '-' added before character name

!hold -LastActionHero

Also, you may put on hold or return to fight several characters at once

!hold LastActionHero Good -Bad Ugly

---

Bennies

Grant a Benny

To give a Benny to a player (or character), use the !gb (give benny) command.

!gb Huey

To grant multiple Bennies at once, add the number of Bennies after the character name.

!gb Huey 3

To give Deadlands Reloaded colored bennies you must specify color:

!gb Dewey w 2b g

This will give Dewey white, blue and 2 golden bennies.

You can give Bennies to multiple persons at once, for example when a Joker is dealt. This gives 2 to Huey, one to Louie, and 3 to Dewey.

!gb Huey 2 Louie Dewey 3

Spend a Benny

When a player wants to spend a Benny, the Game Master tb (take benny) it from them (or they take it away from themselves).

!tb Huey

You can take away from multiple players, multiple Bennies in a single line.

!tb Huey Louie 2 Dewey 2

For Deadlands-style bennies you may provide several colors at once:

!tb Huey 2w r Louie 2g w Dewey 2b

This command takes 2 white and one red benny from Huey, 2 golden and white benny from Louie and 2 blue bennies from Dewey.

Benny pool in Deadlands Reloaded

When you use Deadlands Reloaded bennies there must pool of bennies (20 white, 10 red and 5 blue).

Prepare benny pool

To prepare pool use initbennies command (ib for short).

!ib

Add benny to pool

To add benny to pool (for example - golden benny for defeating dangerous beast) - use addbenny command (ab for short). Benny color set as parameter (w, b, r or g).

!ab w

Take bennies from pool

To take bennies from pool use pullbenny (or pb) command. You must specify character name and amount of bennies (to pull only one benny - you may omit amount).

!pb GM 3

Who has what?

The list command lets you check how many Bennies each character has. (it also shows states, see States below).

!list

Here is what the result looks like:

> NAME                BENNIES    STATES                             
> Huey                2                                            
> Dewey               4                                            
> Louie               2              

New session

When you start a new session and want to reset all Bennies to default 3 (or more with Edges), first use the cb (clear bennies) command to remove all remaining Bennies, and then, gb each character what they deserve.

Here, our group with Huey, Louie, and Dewey, and Louie has the Luck Edge:

!cb
!gb Huey 3 Louie 4 Dewey 3

Removing characters

Once you gave a Benny to a character, it remains in the list, even if they reach 0 Benny. It's ok when it's a player, at some point they will regain some Benny, but for Wild Card NPCs, you might want to remove them from the list.

!remove Assassin

Tips: You can remove multiple characters at one:

!remove LordDenak GoblinWarlord EliteSentinel

---

Characters

Add characters

Users often ask how do I add players to my game?. Well, you don't. Players (and characters) are automatically added if you deal them an initiative card, a Benny (or a state see States below).

Who is playing?

Use list to have the list of players/characters currently in the game. It shows their name, Bennies (tokens), and states.

!list

Remove characters

Since the list holds players and characters, and since some characters might just have to leave (defeated, passing by npc, ...), you can remove characters:

!remove BigBadEvilBoss BigBadLieutenant

Character Sheets

At the moment, Savage Bot does not manage Character Sheets. You can't roll !persuasion or !fighting.

Players or GMs usually keep the character sheets on paper in front of them, or use online sites such as Savaged.us, or Virtual TableTop softwares with Character Sheets abilities. Whatever works for you. The simpler the better. Fast! Fun! Furious!

---

States

In Savage Worlds, states are effects that affects a character for some time, like being Shaken, Distracted, or Vulnerable.

Savage Bot allows you to track the following states: Shaken, Stunned, Entangled, Bound, Distracted and Vulnerable.

Apply State to Character

When a character is Shaken, or Entangled, or whatnot, use the state command to track it.

!state Huey +Vulnerable

Tips: You can use the shortened version of each state: Shaken → sha, Stunned → stn, Entangled → ent, Bound → bnd, Distracted → dis and Vulnerable → vul. You can also apply a state to multiple characters at once.

!state Huey +stn Dewey +dis Louie +bnd

Remove State from Character

Use state again, with a minus sign.

!state Huey -vul

To remove all states from a character, add clear after their name. This removes all states from Huey:

!state Huey clear

Tips: You can apply and remove states to a single character at once. You omit the + sign, it is still considered a "add/apply". This adds Stunned and Distracted to Huey while also removing Distracted, add Distracted to Dewey but also adds Entangled, and clears everything from Louie. Yeah, we know some nasty GMs!

!state Huey +stunned -vul dis Dewey dis -ent Louie clear

How Are You Doing?

Want to see if a character is Shaken or Distracted?

!list
> NAME                TOKENS    STATES                             
> Huey                1         STUNNED                            
> Assassin            2         DISTRACTED                         
> Dewey               1         SHAKEN                             
> Louie               3                                            
> Bandits             0

Advanced Savage Worlds

Advanced Rolls

Emotes and Narration

You roll multiple separate rolls on the same line/command and put narrative text around as you like. Note that it returns to next line after each roll:

The assassin shoots at Huey !s8 Damage: !2d6!+1 Bonus damage (if raise): !d6!
> The assassin shoots at Huey s8: [1; w3] = 3
> Damage: 2d6!+1: 5 + 1 + 1 = 7
> Bonus damage (if raise): d6!: 1 = 1

Fighting vs Parry (Variable Target Number)

For rolls where the Target Number is not the standard 4, you can add a t parameter after the s or e savage rolls. For example, Huery attacks in melee a Parry 6 bandit:

Huey Fighting vs Bandit: !s10t6

The number of success and raises is calculated accordingly:

> Huey Fighting vs Bandit: s10t6: [7; w3] = 7 (success)

Bandit Fighting vs Huey: !e6t7
> Bandit Fighting vs Huey: e6t7: 11 = 11 (success; 1 raise)

Damage vs Toughness (Variable Target Number)

Same as with Parry, you can add t to damage dice. Result tells you whether you Shake or Wound.

Huey Bow vs Bandit toughness: !2d6!t6
> 2d6!t6: 3 + 10 = 13 (shaken, 1 wound)

Tips: Since the roll don't know which character is targeted, it doesn't know whether the target is already Shaken, and the new Shaken needs to be turned into a Wound. We leave a bit of work for the GM and players, right?

Breaking Things

Damage to objects do not explode. Skip the !. They still can compare to Hardness.

!2d6t6
> 2d6t6: 4 + 2 = 6 (shaken)

Well, you could "shake" a door, but not Shake it. Read that Shake as "you beat the Toughness without a raise", it's usually enough to shatter it.

Multiple Modifiers

You don't want to add up penalties and bonuses by yourself? Let's go lazy, Savage Bot does it for you. Melee attack with Called Shot to Head, Dim Light, Trademark Weapon, and Wild attack?

!s10-4-2+1+2
> s10-4-2+1+2: [9; w3] - 4 - 2 + 1 + 2 = 6 (success)

That was close!

Custom Wild Die

If a character has an Edge such as Master, they get to roll a Wild Die higher than d6. You can add w to the Savage roll to tell which Wild Die to use. Here is Master d12+2, using a d10 for Wild Die.

!s12w10+2

Tips: You can combine with specific target number. This rolls d12+2, with a d10 for Wild Die, against Parry 8, but the modifiers needs to be pushed to the end.

!s12w10t8+2

Multi-dice

Weapons with a Rate of Fire, Frenzy, Work the Room, there are situations where you need to roll multiple Trait dice for a single action (and a single Wild Die if you are a Wild Card).

Prefix the roll with the number of times. Here is a bandit rolling Frenzy with d6 Fighting vs Parry of 5.

!2e6t5
> 2e6t5:
> 1: e6t5: 5 = 5 (success)
> 2: e6t5: 11 = 11 (success; 1 raise)

Same with Wild Cards. Here Huey using Work the Crowd to support two allies. Poor work, once failed:

!2s10
> 2s10: [1; 2; w4] = 2, 4 (success)

Tips: This also works with Custom Wild Die, Target Numbers and Modifiers.

!3s12w10t6+2
3s12w10t6+2: [4; 11; 20; w28] + 2 = 13 (success; 1 raise), 22 (success; 4 raises), 30 (success; 6 raises)

Sounds like I was pretty lucky here!

Group Rolls

Group Rolls are used in Savage Worlds to simulate an average result for a group of extra (e.g. when they all sneak on the party, all attempt to notice something, or evaluate how well they survive their journey through the desert). It is resolved using a single Trait roll plus a standard d6 Wild Die. So simply use the s Savage Die!

!s6

Tips: Groups rolls are not used in combat. You'll have to roll each extra action one by one. However, you can use x to roll multiple times the same roll, like this: !5xe6 (5 extra rolling a d6 Trait).

Custom Rolls

For a specific setting or house-rule you need something even more specific? Here are a few tricks that can be useful.

Raise step other than 4 If you need to count number of success and raises in step of 3 or 6 (instead of the standard 4):

!s8r6
> s8r6: [3; w11] = 11 (success; 1 raise)

With specific target number:

!s12t8r6
> s12t8r6: [11; w8] = 11 (success)

When target number and raise steps are the same:

!s12tr6
> s12tr6: [10; w4] = 10 (success)

And with custom Wild Die too:

!s12w8t5r3
s12w8t5r3: [19; w3] = 19 (success; 4 raises)

Also works with e

!e6t5r3
e6t5r3: 8 = 8 (success; 1 raise)

And you could do it for damage too.

!2d6!t7r3
> 2d6!t7r3: 8 + 5 = 13 (shaken, 2 wounds)

You can also put those t and r as prefixes to the roll, if it works best for you:

!t7r3:2d6+4
> t7r3:2d6+4: 5 + 6 + 4 = 15 (shaken, 2 wounds)

Limit roll results You will roll and sum up multiple dice, but you want the result to be not too extreme? You can put a lower and higher limit on your rolls. Here, we want the result to be between 6 and 30 (24+6).

!r (3d8!+d6!)[6:24+6]

This used in our house-rule for damage rolls for Savage Worlds.

Dramatic Tasks

When running a Dramatic Tasks, players must collect a given amount of tokens in a set number of rounds. To track those tokens, we will use the Benny commands (gb, tb, and list) and a virtual character, we will call... Miss Task!

Start a Dramatic Task

Well, in case you had a previous task running, to start out fresh, start by removing MsTask from characters.

!remove MsTask
!list

Notes: We don't want to use clear, it would remove all Bennies from all players. This makes players unhappy. Not good.

Gain Task Tokens

When players gain Task Token, deal them to MsTask.

!gb MsTask 2

Same if they Snake Eye, and lose a Task Token:

!tb MsTask

Mass Battles

Same as with Dramatic Tasks, use the bennies commands to deal and take from two virtual characters. Let's call them TheHeroes and TheVillains (we give them names which starts the same, so that they end up next to eachother in the characters list).

Set up a Mass Battle

Decide which side has the maximum number of tokens (10), and how many tokens the other side gets. Then deal those amounts of tokens to our mass battle avatars. In case you had a previous Mass Battle running, don't forget to remove the avatars before giving them new tokens.

!remove TheHeroes TheVillains
!gb TheHeroes 7 TheVillains 10

Morale and Casualties

At the end of each round of Mass Battles, gb or tb tokens from each sides.

!tb TheVillains 2
!gb TheHeroes 1

Social Conflicts

Same as with Mass Battles and Dramatic Tasks, deal bennies to virtual characters to track the Social Conflict progress. Here let's call it MsInfluence.

Start a Social Conflict

In case you already had a Social Conflict running, remove MsInfluence from the character list.

!remove MsInfluence
!list

Gain Influence

Simply gb Bennies to MsInfluence each time your arguments have gained you some influence.

!gb MsInfluence

At the end of the three rounds, check how many influence MsInfluence has gained:

!list

Deadland Bennies

Deadlands uses a pool of colored Bennies. Each color has its own uses. Characters draw Bennies at random from the pool. To use Deadlands bennies, you have to switch the bennies command mode with setbennymode or sbm.

!sbm deadlands

Then, simply give, take and reset as usual.

However, you can specific the benny color (especially when using/taking bennies). w for white, b for blue, r for red, and g for golden.

!gb Huey 3b Louie 2w Ellie 1r

When you need to give or take only one, you can simply omit the number:

!tb Huey b

Note that you can revert to non-deadlands bennies with:

!sbm normal

---

Other Systems

West End Games D6 System

One d6 is Wild: it explodes on 6 and subtracts highest number on 1.

!3w
> 3w: w11 + 6 + 4 = 21

Worlds of Darkness

In World of Darkness or Lady Blackbird, you roll dices and count the number of success, that is how many did hit a given target.

Roll 6d6, successes on 4+:

!6d6s4
> 6d6s4: [successes(3): 6, 6, 4; rest: 2, 1, 1] = 3

Failures removes from number of successes: Roll 12d10, success on 7+, failure on 1.

!12d10f1s7
> 12d10f1s7: [successes(3): 10, 9, 7; failures(1): 1; rest: 6, 5, 5, 5, 5, 4, 3, 3] = 2

Same with exploding (open-ended, acing) dice. Roll 28d6, success on 10+, failture on 1-.

!28d6!s10f1
> 28d6!s10f1: [successes(7): 15, 14, 11, 11, 10, 10, 10; failures(5): 1, 1, 1, 1, 1; rest: 9, 9, 7, 5, 5, 4, 4, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2] = 2

Coriolis

Randomly pick in a 6x6 table, roll two d6, for cols and rows (displayed as 11, 25, 66...).

!d66

Fate/Fudge

Rolls four Fudge/FATE dice. Roll 4 Fate dice:

!4dF

D&D

Roll with Advantage (roll 2, keep highest). Roll a d20 with advantage and +2 modifier:

!d20adv+2

Roll with Disadvantage (roll 2, keep lowest).

!d20dis+2

To roll initiative, give character names and their initiative dice, this will sort them from highest to smallest.

!rs Huey d20 Dewey d20-2 Louie d20+4
> Louie: d20+4: 18 + 4 = 22
> Huey: d20: 15
> Dewey: d20-2: 7 - 2 = 5

Carcosa

First d20 is rolled to determine size of dice - then roll that dice.

!dC

---

Other tricks

Keep Highest roll

Roll 4 d6 and keep the three best results:

!4d6k3

You can pretend to "roll with advantage" any dice. Yeah, this works with any die, not just d20. It will roll one more dice than asked and exclude the lowest from the total.

!3d6adv
> 3d6adv: 4 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 18

Keep Lowest

Roll five d10 and keep the lowest two.

!5d10kl2
> 5d10kl2: 5 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 9 = 12

You can also "roll with disadvantage" any dice. It will roll one more dice and exclude the highest result.

!3d8dis
> 3d8dis: 3 + 4 + 6 + 8 = 13

Run multiple times the same roll

You can repeat any roll any number of times. Here, roll 4d6 and keep the 3 highest, repeat 6 times.

!6x4d6k3
> 6x4d6k3:
> 1: 4d6k3: 1 + 3 + 3 + 6 = 12
> 2: 4d6k3: 2 + 2 + 5 + 6 = 13
> 3: 4d6k3: 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 = 10
> 4: 4d6k3: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 9
> 5: 4d6k3: 2 + 4 + 4 + 5 = 13
> 6: 4d6k3: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 9

This works with pretty much any roll.

!20x4dF
!10xs8t7

Roll Statistics

Want to check out the probabilities of a given roll? Run it high number of times and have each possible result display how many times it went out. Here we will run 1000 times 2d6 and rh will tell us how many ended up with a 2, a 7, a 12...

!rh 1000x2d6
> 2d6:
> 2: 2d6: 22;
> 3: 2d6: 61;
> 4: 2d6: 69;
> 5: 2d6: 119;
> 6: 2d6: 142;
> 7: 2d6: 168;
> 8: 2d6: 115;
> 9: 2d6: 121;
> 10: 2d6: 97;
> 11: 2d6: 53;
> 12: 2d6: 33;

Tips: Since the number of rolls we called is a factor of 100, it's easy to get percentages of. (22 → 2.2%, 119 → 11.9%)

Roll in range (DnD 0e)

In the good ol' days before classic roll notation was invented, Gygax spelled his dice rolls like 1-8, 2-12, and so on.

!5--15
> 5--15: [2d6+3] 1 + 5 + 3 = **9**

Cards

Here are a few commands to manipulate a standard deck of 54 cards. This feature is pretty old and quite limited. It might get a rework later on.

Deal Cards

deal or dl deals cards in secret to you. Each player must use this command themselves. You can't deal to another person. The cards dealt are sent by direct message to you.

This deals a hand of 5 cards:

!dl 5

What's my Hand?

show or sh displays your current hand of cards.

!show
> 3 :spades: Q :hearts: 2 :hearts: 10 :spades: 4 :hearts:

Draw to the Table

put does draw a card from the deck and put it on the table for everyone to see.

This draws three cards, and drop them on the table.

!put 3

Shuffle

Grabs every cards back and shuffle into a new fresh deck.

!shuffle
