Would it be possible to add a "Back One" option on the roller... would help if you accidentally rolled over good stats.

[Spekkio]

I would love to have that.... 'BUT' no. It's fine the way it is, you just need to slow down if you are passing good stats. Maybe take an 'eye break' every half-hour or so. Get yourself some coffee?

[jurian]

[Simulation]

I love it!

Rolling over a good roll is the price of careless clicking. I've had to pay the price. But then again, it is all too easy if it lags slightly and then it isn't really your fault. I'm kind of neutral on this one.

[MCM]

no need for it, if someone is clicking that fast they deserve it, and without there are still alot of good rolls happening, just live with it and pace yourself with the clicking

[Zelimos]

i think this defeats the whole object of rolling a character, VERY unsupported

[Sneaky]

How does it defeat the whole point? When its laggy and your rolling, the "Reroll" button may turn un-gray for lack of a better word, but if you try to roll again it doesnt register and skips over one. Don't see how it can defeat the whole point for being able to go back 1 roll, you rolled the crit you'd be going back to to begin with.

I like it....

supported...if this was in a year ago i'd have had my freaking 6 stats elf i rolled past and countless other good crits rofl allthough iam just a plain out sucky roller lol

[Sneaky]

I rolled a six stat elf

[MCM]

then slow down and pace yourself you don't get a prize for clicking like a retard, this would be a useless adding of code

[Sneaky]

Go back to your half orc topic, your just repeating what other people have already said. I hear you finished school, graduated, and got your diploma from The Redundancy school of Redundancy?

Nice idea but it wont get added. Most of you should know that.

Maybe it can be a save stats button that would save one set of stats that you roll. Lets say you roll up a 2 off wis for a 5 stat halfling. You really want to wait out for a better wis but that 2 off 5 looks pretty good after rolling for hours. Click the save stats button and those stats are saved into a temp memory in the roller and the save stats button changes to recall stats. This button could only be used 1 time per character creation window. Once you save them they are in the memory and even if they are recalled you can not save any till you close the character creation window and reopen it.

I just think a back button is a bit off in what is needed when rolling crits. As someone before me has replied

pace yourself with the clicking

I have rolled over many awesome crits in a long 3 + something years. Was only able to keep 1 of those many (1 off con for a 6 stat elf, still not the best but its 1 off 6 damnit!!!!). I have learned to slow down while rolling because rolling crits is not a race. There is no set ammount of clicks on the reroll button you have to do, really no need to be clicking the mouse as if you were on speed. You can either slow down or resort to paying someone like Samus to roll crits. And let me tell you Samus and the roller are tight.

uuhh, a go back button on the roller has nothing to do with my half orc topic

I do that by making simply finishing the crit with the nice stats. I continue rolling for another hour or so and, if I don't come up with anything, I'll just keep the character (give it a name-change or whatever as it's free at this level).

If I do happen to roll a better set of stats, I'll keep that crit (give it a spiffy name-change) and then try to sell off the other, worse-off crit. If no-one buys it, I just simply delete it.

i disagree on having a roll back. if you pass it up, then next time slow down, study the stats more often, and pray that you get one. if you don't like praying then wish for good luck. A nd you don't believe in that, then i don't know, make love to a penguin i guess.

not intending to you penguin.... i meant a jackass penguin that lives in Africa...

[the business]

i asked JLH about this. He said people should learn to wait for stats to appear...

[Steam]

can i ask for the instant 6 stat button as well?

[Sean]

Can't do that, no point in auto-rollers then.
