Linking to a dice roller for output

[DMMike75]

Is there any plans to link herolab to a dice roller?

I remember an old 3.0 program named DM's Familiar. I used that program a lot. Once the monsters were entered, you just clicked a button and the attacks/damage were rolled for you. There was a drop down that allowed someone to choose their attack, click, and done.

I never used it for players, but for monsters it likely trimmed 45 min out of each session from just rolling dice.

There is a dice roller in the main program already.
It's basic but functional!

True, but I think he is looking to do something like push a button on the NPCs round and the dice roll for the attack, maybe even damage can be determine and applied if the attack was successful.

I presumed as much which is why I said "Basic but functional!"
However I'd quite like the dice roller functions to be integrated into the tactical console to.
I believe it would be a useful feature for in game use!

There's a lot that can be improved in the tactical console. I'd like to see a tracker and a way to apply effects to more than one hero. I kind of like doing the dice rolling myself.
