🐞 Dice rolls with disadvantage are ignored when a modifier is present about dice-roller HOT 3 CLOSED

Additional info: I was rolling only one die. When rolling two dice, the plugin works as expected. So, when rolling one die and you keep the lowest, the single rolled result is regarded as the highest result and is dropped, leaving no dice rolled. So, this bug doesn't seem like a problem when actually used as intended (I mean, why roll one die with disadvantage?), but still a weird interaction nonetheless.

I think you might be misunderstanding the kh and kl option. These options keep the highest or lowest die out of all rolled dice. Rolling with advantage/disadvantage as in DnD means rolling two dice and keeping the highest or lowest roll, i.e., dice: 2d20kl+5 rolls with disadvantage and works as expected, dice: 2d20kh+5 rolls with advantage.

I agree however that the behavior of these options when applied to a single die is unclear and could be documented.

I know how (dis-)advantage works, it's just that I'd like for 1d20kl1 actually keeps the lowest rolled die. Now it's just being discarded, making 1d20kl1 functionally the same as 0 while the plugin is still actually rolling the die.

If "roll 1d20 and keep the lowest result" actually kept the lowest rolled die, which is just the roll itself, the behaviour of the keep lowest/highest function would be more consistent. Now the plugin is just rolling a die and putting it away before really looking at the number rolled.
