+# Feature: Announcing rolls
+- There should be a setting to allow announcing rolls in chat
+- This setting can be enabled or disabled through a checkbox
+- When enabled, a dropdown selection of channels should be shown:
+  - Emote (/e)
+  - Party (/p)
+  - Raid (/ra)
+  - Guild (/g)
+- Selection and enabled/disabled state should be saved
+- When enabled, rolls should be announced in the selected channel in the following format:
+  - "[Name] rolled [result of d20] + [modifier] = [total]"
+  - Modifiers should be shown with names in parentheses, for example "-2 (First Aid) +2 (Item)"
+  - Name should be the TRP character first name
