I was wondering if I could request for a new dice configuration.

My system of preference, Savage Worlds, uses "Acing" dice, where dice that roll the maximum (4 on a d4, 6 on a d6, 8 on a d8, etc.) are added to the total, and rerolled as long as they keep Acing.

For example: The Orc Chieftain attacks and rolls his d10 Fighting skill check. He gets a 10. So he rerolls and gets another 10. This is again rerolled with a result of 6. His entire total would then be 10+10+6 = 26.

Playing on a table top your players would keep rolling dice as long at they got the max roll right? So they might roll a die three times in a row if they kept acing right?

So why can't they do the same thing with the current dice roller? Just roll a dice and if they get the highest roll then keep rolling, there is even a memo section to keep track of stuff like that if multiple people are rolling in the same thread.

Just add the memo "rolling again since I aced the last roll" etc. In any case the current dice roller should work fine as long as you properly instruct your players.

Meanwhile I'll look into the possibility of adding it as an option.
