GM Tools

Rollies gives you two modes for handling detected ties. Auto-trigger starts rolloffs the moment a tie is found. Manual approval opens a notification dialog so you can review the ties first.

Auto-trigger mode

When Auto-trigger Rolloffs is on, Rollies starts rolloffs as soon as ties are detected. Players receive their roll dialogs, results post to chat, and initiative updates when the rolloff completes. You see every roll in chat, but nothing prompts you to confirm it.

See Tie Detection for how ties are identified.

Manual approval mode

When Auto-trigger Rolloffs is off, you see a notification dialog titled Initiative Ties Detected. The dialog lists each tie group with the combatant names and the tied initiative value, and offers two buttons:

• Start Rolloffs begins the rolloffs for all listed groups.
• Keep Current Initiative closes the dialog and leaves the ties in place.

Use this mode when you want to inspect what tied before anything happens at the table.

Chat integration

All rolls appear in chat attributed to the player who owns the combatant, tagged with the rolloff label. When a player runs out of time and the timer fires for them, the chat entry is also marked auto-rolled.

If a rolloff ends in another tie, Rollies shows a UI notification and re-runs the rolloff with the still-tied participants. It is not posted to chat.
