Die roller generated an odd value

[bodrin]

Wacky dice roller total.

A player in my game used the HL dice roller to roll 1(D20-2) and ended with a score of 4294967295.

Settings used:- Roll 1d20. Accumulate totals. Add to each die -2.

Odd :/

Ah... it's a signed unsigned 32 bit int. His roll was less than 2, so it wrapped around... at least, that would fit. Interesting, because I'm pretty sure I've generated negative numbers before...

actually, its an unsigned int.

I don't know if it would be relevant, but which game system? And which operating system? And is it replicable on his computer or on yours? Just things that support will be able to latch onto to find out where the bug is.

Duggan, I moved this out of the Pathfinder bug reports thread because the die roller is independant of any game system.

Sorry, typed that wrong. You're correct, unsigned...

In any case, it's not handling a negative number correctly it seems as 1-2 shouldn't equal 2^32-1.

Blame me for posting in the wrong forum, I was browsing the Pathfinder bug reports and just posted this quirk.

Sorry!
