What Is DiceBot
DiceBot is a multi function robot for roll
play games or sims, he's also a very good trivia player, with
thousands of questions. As a "DM"'s aid DiceBot can
roll dice, track initiative etc.
Where Does DiceBot Live?
DiceBot lives in the IRC channel #DiceBot on
IRC.PHISHY.NET, check out the PHISHY
web site for details of this and other channels!
Getting DiceBot to join your channel.
There are two ways to get DiceBot to join your
chan, through a command in any chan where DiceBot is running,
or by messaging from anywhere in IRC. YOUR CHANNEL MUST BE
REGISTERED WITH DICEBOT before it can join you. Please contact
Grant MacDonald (BigMac)
to have your channel added.
Using /MSG
/MSG DiceBot JOIN #Channel
So, /MSG DiceBot
JOIN #DragonStorm or /INVITE
DiceBot DragonStorm causes the 'bot to join #DragonStorm,
if the 'bot gets to a channel first, and gets ops it will give
them away to the next person to join the channel, so it's
better to have your channel registered with H, or get into the
chan before inviting DiceBot in!
/MSG DiceBot LEAVE #Channel
This causes DiceBot to leave the named
channel.

Rolling Dice
DiceBot will also roll dice for you!!!
(Surprise Surprise) DiceBot looks for dice "phrases"
in any text sent to the channel, if it finds a phrase it will
roll the relevant dice and tell you the result. Multiple dice
phrases on the same line are allowed.
Dice phrases preceeded by any of the SKIP
characters are not rolled, The SKIP characters are currently !
and .
The syntax is:
<skip character><number of
sets><'#'><number of dice>'d'[number of
sides]<modifier>
| <skip character> |
If this is an '!' or a '.'
then the dice will not be rolled. |
| <number of sets> |
Number of times the sets of dice are thrown,
If this is used it MUST be followed by a '#' |
| <number of dice> |
The quantity of dice to roll in each throw. |
| [number of sides] |
The type of dice required, can be ANY number. |

total of the quantity of dice rolled. |
