Henry, I am not exactly sure what you mean but after posting I spotted that I was assigning type to a random value then using that as the argument to roll, I fixed that. If you start a jconsole session and type
?2, ?100, ?100 sooner or later you get a float... placing parens. around it (?2), (?100), (?100) gives me the expected list of three integers so I guess it's to do with order of evaluation as roll can take one or two arguments... still learning J.
