# Match Counting

Counts sets of matching dice rolls.

\`6d6m\` - Roll six d6s and count how many sets of matching values occur (defaults to counting pairs or more).

_Example:_ Roll: \`\[5, 2, 5, 6, 5, 2\]\` → Matches found: \`\[5, 5, 5\]\` (one set) and \`\[2, 2\]\` (one set). → Final Result: \`2\` (two sets of matches).

\`6d6m=5\` - Roll six d6s and count how many dice show exactly 5.

_Example:_ Roll: \`\[5, 2, 5, 6, 5, 2\]\` → Matches for 5: \`\[5, 5, 5\]\` → Final Result: \`3\` (three dice matched 5).

\`6d6m>4\` - Roll six d6s and count how many dice show 4, 5, or 6.

_Example:_ Roll: \`\[5, 2, 5, 6, 5, 2\]\` → Matches for >=4: \`\[5, 5, 6, 5\]\` → Final Result: \`4\` (four dice matched >=4).

\`6d6m3\` - Roll six d6s and count **sets of three-or-more matching dice** (the number \`3\` after \`m\` raises the minimum from the default 2).

_Example:_ Roll: \`\[5, 2, 5, 6, 5, 2\]\` → Only the three 5's form a set of 3 → Final Result: \`1\` (one qualifying set).

\`6d6mt\` - Roll six d6s and report the _total value_ of dice in matching sets (defaults to pairs or more).

_Example:_ Roll: \`\[5, 2, 5, 6, 5, 2\]\` → Matching sets: \`\[5, 5, 5\]\` and \`\[2, 2\]\` → Total value of matched dice: \`5+5+5 + 2+2 = 15 + 4 = 19\` → Final Result: \`19\`.

\`6d6mt>3\` - Roll six d6s and report the total value of dice that are 3 or higher _and_ part of a matching set (default: pairs or more).

_Example:_ Roll: \`\[5, 2, 5, 6, 5, 2\]\` → Matching sets: \`\[5, 5, 5\]\` and \`\[2, 2\]\`. Dice >=3 within sets: \`\[5, 5, 5\]\`. → Total value: \`5+5+5 = 15\` → Final Result: \`15\`.

_Note: If no number is specified after \`m\` or \`mt\`, it defaults to requiring 2 or more dice (pairs) to count as a match._
