# This class models a number of identical dice, which may be either GamesDice::Die or # GamesDice::ComplexDie objects. # # An object of this class represents a fixed number of indentical dice that may be rolled and their # values summed to make a total for the bunch. # # @example The ubiquitous '3d6' # d = GamesDice::Bunch.new( :ndice => 3, :sides => 6 ) # d.roll # => 14 # d.result # => 14 # d.explain_result # => "2 + 6 + 6 = 14" # d.max # => 18 # # @example Roll 5d10, and keep the best 2 # d = GamesDice::Bunch.new( :ndice => 5, :sides => 10 , :keep_mode => :keep_best, :keep_number => 2 ) # d.roll # => 18 # d.result # => 18 # d.explain_result # => "4, 9, 2, 9, 1.
