I'm sure this is simple, but I can't seem to find the solution. What I need is to roll a number of dice(that part I've got down), but to ignore the lowest roll before totalling the rolls.

For instance 3, 5, 6 would be 11, since 3 is ignored

Thanks in advance,

My first thought was to store your individual rolls in a list, then write a function like:

def SumListExcludeLowest(L):
    L.sort()
    total = 0
    for num in L[1:]:
        total += num
    return total

if __name__ == '__main__':
    print SumListExcludeLowest([4,2,5,1])

This just uses the builtin list.sort() method which orders the values, then you iterate through all list elements after the first one. Piece of cake.
