Request for an Owlbear.Rodeo Extension for Custom Dice Roll Macros
Hello everyone!
First of all, I'd like to thank the Owlbear team for creating such a simple and wonderful virtual tabletop. I run my games on a 4 GB RAM Celeron computer, and I'm able to GM Curse of Strahd (D&D 5E 2014) with excellent performance thanks to how well optimized Owlbear is.
However, I really miss having an extension that makes it easier to roll attack rolls, damage, spell save DCs, and other common dice macros for D&D.
The current Owlbear dice rollers all use 3D dice, which many of my players' smartphones and low-end computers struggle to run smoothly. This ends up working against one of Owlbear's greatest strengths: its outstanding performance and accessibility on lightweight devices.
As a workaround, I've been using the Tables+ extension, but it's extremely time-consuming to set up because it was designed for random table rolls, not for attack, damage, or spell macros. Even so, it's currently the only extension that allows dice to be rolled directly within Owlbear while displaying the results without relying on 3D animations.
What I'd love to see is something closer to how Roll20 or Foundry VTT handle macros: you simply click a macro, and it automatically posts the action's description, performs the attack roll, and displays the damage if the attack hits.
I believe an extension like this would greatly improve the gameplay experience while preserving Owlbear's biggest advantage: its lightweight, highly optimized performance across virtually any device.
I've also attached some examples of the workaround I've been using with Tables+, so you can better understand what I have in mind.
