Dice Roller - New System to Add - DC Heroes

Hello,

Could you add a new system to you already fantastic dice roller.

It is to be used with DC Heroes and Blood of Heroes.
The official system name is MEGS (Mayfair Exponential Game System)

It is quite simple:

Always roll 2d10 and sum the total.
If there are doubles, roll again until non doubles are rolled.
Sum the totals.

The exception is double 1s. Whenever double 1s are rolled the end result is 0.

The "rerolling doubles" part is optional - in the tabletop game a player is not forced to reroll, he can stop at any time.  That might be tricky to implement online.

I need to preface this post, saying I don't know anything about the system other than what is stated above.

I am assuming the only reason you would want to stop rerolling is for fear you would get double 1's, and get a total of 0.

From a programming perspective, here is my suggestion.  Take it for what it's worth.
I leave it to jase to decide if it is worth implementing.

To simulate #2, I would suggest a dropdown with 3 choices.

1)  Never reroll doubles
2)  Always reroll doubles
3)  Reroll doubles until hit reach a target number

If 3 is selected, you would need to enter a number that would be a stopping point in another field.

IMHO, this would be the simplest way to simulate stopping at some future point.
But I really don't have a horse in this race...
