Here's some code I thought people might like..
I wrote it for my builders using dg scripts so they could use some
random numbers to some of the commands, then found it worked pretty
nicely for anywhere (loading mobs, etc)
It will basically take any kind of format for dice (spaces/etc don't
bother it although in the wrong format altogether, wierd things will
happen)
It also accepts single numeric argument for backward compat.
Enjoy, lemme know if it don't work (It's not the neatest code, I know,
but should be easy to fix up if you find a problem)
