+Dice are input in the following form:
+
+XdY[modifiers]
+
+This will roll X Y-sided dice and apply the specified modifiers.
+
+Modifiers can be any of the following (where N and M are integers):
+
+(+|-)N   Add or subtract N from the total
+lN       Drop the lowest-rolling N dice from the total
+hN       Drop the highest-rolling N dice from the total
+rN[xM]   Any dice that roll <= N will be rerolled.
+         If the optional 'xM' option is specified, dice will be rerolled a maximum of M times.
+         Otherwise each die will be rerolled until the result is > N
+
+Examples:
+
+1d20+5      roll 1 twenty-sided die, and add 5 to the result
+6d6l1h1     roll 6 six-sided dice, and drop both the highest and the lowest roll
+4d6l1r2x1   roll 4 six-sided dice. Any dice rolling a 1 or 2 will be rerolled once.
+            If the result is still 1 or 2 it is kept. The lowest die is dropped from the result
