Weapon attack rolls with GWF

1d12r<=2 + 5 -> (10) + 5

 

I normally wait for a crit before applying Orcish Fury damage so I can double the roll.

To do this in D&D Beyond, I have created two custom attack actions to roll normal or crit Orcish Fury damage.

Orcish Fury (Norm)  - 1d12

Orcish Fury (Crit) - 2d12

I am unable to determine a way to add the GWF functionality to these custom action damage rolls.

I would like to be able to change 1d12 to 1d12r<=2  and  2d12  to  2d12r<=2

This would match the functionality that the weapon attacks exhibit.

 

I have also noticed that Half-Orc Savage Attacks is not being rolled with GWF

Savage Attacks Critical Damage

1d12 -> (3)

I would expect the roll to be 1d12r<=2

  I think they may already be planning to add support for minimum roll features, re-roll 1's and similar, but definitely seconded.

  As for the crit though, they've actually added crit support for the dice roller; if you roll a crit on a hit roll then your damage roll will go blue and double the damage dice the next time you roll them. You can also override this by right-clicking (or long pressing) the damage roll which lets you choose between normal and critical.

  To clarify this feature request,  there are no issues with how the crit functionality is working on normal attack rolls from Beyond20 to Discord.

  The issue is with the damage roll not accounting for the GWF fighting style, in the Savage Attacks racial damage roll.
  
  In addition, I am unable to find an option or enter a formula to account for GWF style in custom attack action rolls.

  
  Example crit:
  
  

  There is initial Slashing damage and Slashing damage crit.  Both of these are rolled with 1d12r<=2 to account for GWF style. (incidently, a 2 was rolled on the crit dmg roll and it re-rolled to a 7)

  Savage Attacks crit damage is also listed.  This rolled 1d12 for damage, not 1d12r<=2, so it is not accounting for the GWF style on the Savage Attacks crit damage roll.

   

  Greataxe, +1

   

  1d20 + 8 (20) + 8

  Slashing Damage :

  1d12r<=2 + 5 (10) + 5

  Slashing Critical Damage :

  1d12r<=2 (2 + 7)

  Savage Attacks Critical Damage :

  1d12 (3)

  Total Damage :

  15 15

  Total Critical Damage :

  7 + 3 7 + 3

  If I also wanted to add Orcish Fury damage to this crit attack, I would roll my Orcish Fury (Crit) custom attack action, which rolls 2d12 damage.
  
  I would like it to roll 2d12r<=2, instead of 2d12.

   

  I do not see a way to tell it to do this.
