Dice Syntax

This is the grammar supported by the dice parser, roughly ordered in how tightly the grammar binds.

Numbers

These are the atoms used at the base of the syntax tree.

Name	Syntax	Description	Examples
literal	`INT`, `DECIMAL`	A literal number.	`1`, `0.5`, `3.14`
dice	`INT? "d" (INT \| "%" \| "F" \| "f")`	A set of die.	`d20`, `3d6`
set	`"(" (num ("," num)* ","?)? ")"`	A set of expressions.	`()`, `(2,)`, `(1, 3+3, 1d20)`

Note that (3d6) is equivalent to 3d6, but (3d6,) is the set containing the one element 3d6.

Set Operations

These operations can be performed on dice and sets.

Grammar

Name	Syntax	Description	Examples
set_op	`operation selector`	An operation on a set (see below).	`kh3`, `ro<3`
selector	`seltype INT`	A selection on a set (see below).	`3`, `h1`, `>2`

Operators

Operators are always followed by a selector, and operate on the items in the set that match the selector.

Syntax	Name	Description
k	keep	Keeps all matched values.
p	drop	Drops all matched values.
rr	reroll	Rerolls all matched values until none match. (Dice only)
ro	reroll once	Rerolls all matched values once. (Dice only)
ra	reroll and add	Rerolls up to one matched value once, keeping the original roll. (Dice only)
e	explode on	Rolls another die for each matched value. (Dice only)
mi	minimum	Sets the minimum value of each die. (Dice only)
ma	maximum	Sets the maximum value of each die. (Dice only)

Selectors

Selectors select from the remaining kept values in a set.

Syntax	Name	Description
X	literal	All values in this set that are literally this value.
hX	highest X	The highest X values in the set.
lX	lowest X	The lowest X values in the set.
>X	greater than X	All values in this set greater than X.
<X	less than X	All values in this set less than X.

Unary Operations

Syntax	Name	Description
+X	positive	Does nothing.
-X	negative	The negative value of X.

Binary Operations

Syntax	Name
X * Y	multiplication
X / Y	division
X // Y	int division
X % Y	modulo
X + Y	addition
X - Y	subtraction
X == Y	equality
X >= Y	greater/equal
X <= Y	less/equal
X > Y	greater than
X < Y	less than
X != Y	inequality

Examples

>>> from d20 import roll
>>> r = roll("4d6kh3")  # highest 3 of 4 6-sided dice
>>> r.total
14
>>> str(r)
'4d6kh3 (4, 4, **6**, ~~3~~) = `14`'

>>> r = roll("2d6ro<3")  # roll 2d6s, then reroll any 1s or 2s once
>>> r.total
9
>>> str(r)
'2d6ro<3 (**~~1~~**, 3, **6**) = `9`'

>>> r = roll("8d6mi2")  # roll 8d6s, with each die having a minimum roll of 2
>>> r.total
33
>>> str(r)
'8d6mi2 (1 -> 2, **6**, 4, 2, **6**, 2, 5, **6**) = `33`'

>>> r = roll("(1d4 + 1, 3, 2d6kl1)kh1")  # the highest of 1d4+1, 3, and the lower of 2 d6s
>>> r.total
3
>>> str(r)
'(1d4 (2) + 1, ~~3~~, ~~2d6kl1 (2, 5)~~)kh1 = `3`'

Custom Stringifier

By default, d20 stringifies the result of each dice roll formatted in Markdown, which may not be useful in your application. To change this behaviour, you can create a subclass of d20.Stringifier (or d20.SimpleStringifier as a starting point), and implement the _str_* methods to customize how your dice tree is stringified.

Then, simply pass an instance of your stringifier into the roll() function!

>>> import d20
>>> class MyStringifier(d20.SimpleStringifier):
...     def _stringify(self, node):
...         if not node.kept:
...             return 'X'
...         return super()._stringify(node)
...
...     def _str_expression(self, node):
...         return f"The result of the roll {self._stringify(node.roll)} was {int(node.total)}"

>>> result = d20.roll("4d6e6kh3", stringifier=MyStringifier())
>>> str(result)
'The result of the roll 4d6e6kh3 (X, 5, 6!, 6!, X, X) was 17'

Annotations and Comments

Each dice node supports value annotations - i.e., a method to "tag" parts of a roll with some indicator. For example,

>>> from d20 import roll
>>> str(roll("3d6 [fire] + 1d4 [piercing]"))
'3d6 (3, 2, 2) [fire] + 1d4 (3) [piercing] = `10`'

>>> str(roll("-(1d8 + 3) [healing]"))
'-(1d8 (7) + 3) [healing] = `-10`'

>>> str(roll("(1 [one], 2 [two], 3 [three])"))
'(1 [one], 2 [two], 3 [three]) = `6`'

are all examples of valid annotations. Annotations are purely visual and do not affect the evaluation of the roll by default.

Additionally, when allow_comments=True is passed to roll(), the result of the roll may have a comment:

>>> from d20 import roll
>>> result = roll("1d20 I rolled a d20", allow_comments=True)
>>> str(result)
'1d20 (13) = `13`'
>>> result.comment
'I rolled a d20'

Note that while allow_comments is enabled, AST caching is disabled, which may lead to slightly worse performance.

Traversing Dice Results

The raw results of dice rolls are returned in Expression objects, which can be accessed as such:

>>> from d20 import roll
>>> result = roll("3d6 + 1d4 + 3")
>>> str(result)
'3d6 (4, **6**, **6**) + 1d4 (**1**) + 3 = `20`'
>>> result.expr
<Expression roll=<BinOp left=<BinOp left=<Dice num=3 size=6 values=[<Die size=6 values=[<Literal 4>]>, <Die size=6 values=[<Literal 6>]>, <Die size=6 values=[<Literal 6>]>] operations=[]> op=+ right=<Dice num=1 size=4 values=[<Die size=4 values=[<Literal 1>]>] operations=[]>> op=+ right=<Literal 3>> comment=None>

or, in a easier-to-read format,

<Expression 
    roll=<BinOp
        left=<BinOp
            left=<Dice
                num=3
                size=6
                values=[
                    <Die size=6 values=[<Literal 4>]>,
                    <Die size=6 values=[<Literal 6>]>,
                    <Die size=6 values=[<Literal 6>]>
                ]
                operations=[]
            >
            op=+
            right=<Dice
                num=1
                size=4
                values=[
                    <Die size=4 values=[<Literal 1>]>
                ]
                operations=[]
            >
        >
        op=+
        right=<Literal 3>
    >
    comment=None
>

From here, Expression.children returns a tree of nodes representing the expression from left to right, each of which may have children of their own. This can be used to easily search for specific dice, look for the left-most operand, or modify the result by adding in resistances or other modifications.

Examples

Finding the left and right-most operands:

>>> from d20 import roll

>>> binop = roll("1 + 2 + 3 + 4")
>>> left = binop.expr
>>> while left.children:
...     left = left.children[0]
>>> left
<Literal 1>

>>> right = binop.expr
>>> while right.children:
...     right = right.children[-1]
>>> right
<Literal 4>

>>> from d20 import utils  # these patterns are available in the utils submodule:
>>> utils.leftmost(binop.expr)
<Literal 1>
>>> utils.rightmost(binop.expr)
<Literal 4>

Searching for the d4:

>>> from d20 import roll, Dice, SimpleStringifier, utils

>>> mixed = roll("-1d8 + 4 - (3, 1d4)kh1")
>>> str(mixed)
'-1d8 (**8**) + 4 - (3, ~~1d4 (3)~~)kh1 = `-7`'
>>> root = mixed.expr
>>> result = utils.dfs(root, lambda node: isinstance(node, Dice) and node.num == 1 and node.size == 4)
>>> result
<Dice num=1 size=4 values=[<Die size=4 values=[<Literal 3>]>] operations=[]>
>>> SimpleStringifier().stringify(result)
'1d4 (3)'

As a note, even though a Dice object is the parent of Die objects, Dice.children returns an empty list, since it's more common to look for the dice, and not each individual component of that dice.

Performance

By default, the parser caches the 256 most frequently used dice expressions in an LFU cache, allowing for a significant speedup when rolling many of the same kinds of rolls. This caching is disabled when allow_comments is True.

With caching:

$ python3 -m timeit -s "from d20 import roll" "roll('1d20')"
10000 loops, best of 5: 21.6 usec per loop
$ python3 -m timeit -s "from d20 import roll" "roll('100d20')"
500 loops, best of 5: 572 usec per loop
$ python3 -m timeit -s "from d20 import roll; expr='1d20+'*50+'1d20'" "roll(expr)"
500 loops, best of 5: 732 usec per loop
$ python3 -m timeit -s "from d20 import roll" "roll('10d20rr<20')"
1000 loops, best of 5: 1.13 msec per loop

Without caching:

$ python3 -m timeit -s "from d20 import roll" "roll('1d20')"
5000 loops, best of 5: 61.6 usec per loop
$ python3 -m timeit -s "from d20 import roll" "roll('100d20')"
500 loops, best of 5: 620 usec per loop
$ python3 -m timeit -s "from d20 import roll; expr='1d20+'*50+'1d20'" "roll(expr)"
500 loops, best of 5: 2.1 msec per loop
$ python3 -m timeit -s "from d20 import roll" "roll('10d20rr<20')"
1000 loops, best of 5: 1.26 msec per loop
