This toolkit is designed to ease the act of rolling against oracles in popular solo roleplaying engines. This toolkit is not designed to circumvent purchasing the accompanying book and reading the source material is required to make full use of these oracles. Please support the creators as the books referenced are well worth the price and are a great source of information and tools. |

Search terms are regular expressions.
What this means is that you can search for multiple items at once by separating the terms with a |. For example: alice|rabbit returns prompts containing either "alice" or "rabbit".
The downside to this is that you have to escape periods, plus signs, dollar signs, and question marks with a backslash. For example:
Who\?\$20\.00Bill\+TedSearch terms are also case insensitive, and leading and trailing spaces are stripped.
Player is the player roll. Opposed is the opposed roll or target number used for evaluating success; this value is optional. Each box takes a list of arguments separated by a space. The arguments are case-insensitive.
Each block of text separated by a space is considered a Pool. Each Pool is composed of arguments that relate only to that Pool. Dice Pools start with a die code (eg. a six-sider would be a 6, d6, or 1d6); any additional arguments follow the die code, in any order, without spaces. Any Pool that doesn't start with a die code is merged into a Master Pool whose arguments are applied to all Dice Pools.
With the exception of Ignore (iX) and Mods (+X or -X), only the first found instance of each argument type in a Pool is used and the rest of that type are ignored. Mods are also unique in that they are collected from all Dice and Master Pools and then the sum is added to the grand total.
When using Counts (c), the result of that Pool will become the number of successes rather than its total. If the argument is part of the Master Pool, it will count successes across all Dice Pools. When x is used to explode the die for a cumulative total, the number of successes is assigned to that die and will be taken into account when keeping highest or lowest.
Dice Pools and Master Pool: If we have d6i1 d4 i2, this will ignore rolls of 1 and 2 from the d6 Pool, but will only ignore rolls of 2 from the d4 Pool. This is because the i2 is part of the Master Pool which applies to both Dice Pools along with instructions to ignore a 1 in the d6 Pool.
Mod Collection: If we have 3d6+2 d6 kh2 +1, this will roll all 4 dice, keep the highest two, and then it will add +3 to the sum of the two remaining dice.
Count Successes: If we have 4d10 c8_10 x10 which counts success between 8 and 10 and explodes on a 10, and then roll 3 9 8 10+10+7 (one die exploding twice), it will return a count of 4. If we were to add kh2 to keep the two highest, it would keep the rolls of 9 and 10+10+7 for a count of 3.
dX or NdX: where N represents the number of dice to roll and X represents the size of the die. F can be used for Fate or Fudge dice.
+X or -X: where X represents the value to add/subtract from the total after it's rolled. can also be used to represent a static target number if used without dice. this can be specified multiple times.
kh or kl or khX or klX: keep highest or lowest roll. if provided, X represents the number of rolls to keep.
dh or dl or dhX or dlX: drop highest or lowest roll. if provided, X represents the number of rolls to drop.
iX: any rolls matching X will be ignored and not added to the total. this can be specified multiple times.
rX or rX_Y: discard any rolls equal to X to X through Y and roll again. subsequent matches will also be rerolled.
rh: same as rX but automatically sets X to the highest value of each die.
xX or xX_Y: rerolls any roll equal to X to X through Y while adding its value to the total. subsequent matches will also be rerolled.
xh: same as xX but automatically sets X to the highest value of each die.
cX or cX_Y: counts rolls equal to X or X through Y. for games that count successes rather than dice totals.
cX*N or cX_Y*N: same as above but N specifies the amount of success to count when this roll comes up. this value can also be negative to subtract successes.
> or < or >= or <= or !=: determines how the Player and Opposed results are compared. this setting is only allowed in the Opposed box. default is >.
atleast: shows chance of rolling at least the result.
atmost: shows chance of rolling at most the result.

Draw a playing card. A virtual deck is used to accurately represent the probabilities of drawing a card.
Calulate the odds of rolling a number or success.
Because the probabilities are determined by rolling 1,000,000 times rather than being determined through an equation, repeated attempts may have a deviation of up to 0.1.
This section is dedicated to muses, also known as portents, meaning tables, or spark tables. They are methods for generating ideas for scenes or answering questions outside the scope of Yes or No.

A cut up is a randomized section of about 4 or 5 words taken from a larger body of text. You can answer questions or set scenes using the verbs and nouns in the text, and the answers will be flavored by the source material.
Similar to Motifs, tarot cards can be used to generate a feeling which you can apply to the context of the situation to get an answer to a question rather than something more concrete like a word generator.
