I recently started using Forumotion's RPG mod and in my opinion it's quite useful and has a lot of potential. I don't know if there's an automated way in calculating damages, HP, etc.. but I've developed a battle system that is both manual and automated, the manual part being the calculating of damages and HP, etc.., and the automated party being the fight mod who judges whether your attack hits or misses depending on the difference of the player and his opponent's stats. It's quite confusing at first but that's where the battle mods come in to guide the players during battles.
There are many uses to the Dice as Caihlem stated, you can go with the simple hit or miss. Or you could build a stat based system, where a player with higher stats will have a greater chance of you hitting or dodging to a player with less stats, well at least that is how I did mine.
You can also make a card based game with your dice. But the only problem is there's no way to tell your dice that once that card has been rolled it mustn't be drawn again.
Or if you're a board game fanatic you can use a standard 1-6 dice ,or more if you like, and create your own snakes and ladders (old yet exciting game)
There's plenty more you can do with the RPG dice. I'm no master of the RPG dice, but I can teach a few stuff to how you can make a good game with it.
Goodluck and God bless. ('_')b
