drop() Function
Generates random numbers to emulate dice rolls; returns the total of a dice roll that ignores a certain number of the lowest dice rolled.
Usage
drop(times, sides, ignore)Parameters
times- The number of times to roll the dice.sides- The number of sides the dice possess.ignore- The number of lowest rolls that are ignored when totaling the roll.

Roll ten twenty-sided dice, ignoring the lowest five rolls.
Returns a number than is between
[t: drop(10, 20, 5)]Returns a number that is between 5 and 100, with a high average.
Roll five ten-sided dice ignoring the lowest two rolls, using variables.
[h: DiceTimes = 5]
[h: DiceSides = 10]
[h: DiceIgnore = 2]
[t: drop(DiceTimes, DiceSides, DiceIgnore)]3 and 30, with a high average.See Also
