<dice=name>xdy+z</dice>
In the above,
--Replace "name" with whatever you are using the dice for.
--Replace the triangular brackets <> with square brackets [].
--Replace x with how many dice you are rolling.
--Replace y with the die size.
--Replace z with your bonus.
For example, let's say I want to roll a perception check, with a bonus of +10. I'd roll
<dice=137ben's perception>1d20+10</dice>
Replacing the triangular brackets with square brackets rolls the die:
137ben's perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
Now let's say I am a rogue and I'm going to sneak attack you. I can make my attack roll:
<dice=attack roll>1d20+12[/dice]
and my damage roll
<dice=damage with sneak attack>2d8+9+3d6</dice>
With square brackets, that becomes:
attack roll: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19
damage with sneak attack: 2d8 + 9 + 3d6 ⇒ (7, 4) + 9 + (1, 6, 2) = 29
