And you're right. While I can't quote it neither I clearly remember not much time ago, perhaps in 2.2 about the removal of a certain useful random command that they'd implement back...

I'm also interested in this, as a lover of the randomness and also as a roleplayer, even if my server is not so much into it, I'm the one who decides to give my character its own personality, different than mine, and having some nice random or dice utility is highly appreciated. I hope they'll read this, or at least that this topic won't fall in oblivion.
