Fair enough. It might be a little troublesome in PbP games since people will need to post, then make the rolls, and then possibly edit the post based on the rolls. Not a huge deal, I guess.
How would that differ if they rolled when they posted?
In the main place where I play PbP you can roll and then post. So, if you make an attack roll (and you know the enemy AC) you can know if it hit and then make damage rolls. If it doesn't hit then you don't need to make damage rolls, things like that.

Wouldn't that let players fudge their roll?

No. The rolls are all public. You can't edit them.

:scratch:
There's nothing to attach a roll to here prior to your post. It would be a bit like attachments, if you upload something but don't post then it's just an orphaned attachment.

An alternative I considered was to have rolls be their own separate 'thing' from posts that showed up between posts, but because threads can be sorted by things other than date I decided against it.

Sure, no big deal. I'm really glad to have it and I like the flexibility and options GNOLL has. Thanks for implementing this!
