The Cthulhu command line tool, in form of a REPL, provides two commands: roll and probe. The roll command allows the throwing of dice and the subsequent summation and addition of optional values. The probe command allows the check of ones ability against one thrown D100 with or without additional bonus or malus dice.

A regular dice throw is specified by the amount of dice you want to throw and the dice eyes. The most common dice eyes are 100, 20, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, and 3.

• 1d100
• 2D100
• 1w20
• 3W10
• 1d8
• 6D6
• 1W4
• 2w3

The letters w and W can be used as a shortcut because the german word for die or dice is Würfel.

Values to be added to the final sum consists of a sign, and a value part.
