Try this formula:
:int(rand*sides-2)+int(rand*2+1)+1->die1
it isn't as accurate as defining ranges, but this will weight the die in favor
of higher numbers. I assume that the numbers start with 1, not 0. Depending
on how you store the die values, you could put this into a for loop for the
number of die. I'm not sure what you want to do with them, so i'll just leave
it like this.
