Anyway, going back to the dice thing for a moment, once the die is rolled, it changes the code to one fixing the die roll in the database, so that it won't change when edited. So instead of
giving
which is a random result, you get
which fixes the result at the original roll, i.e.
Incidentally, this is how you can tell if a die roll has been gamed; it doesn't fix the code like that until a post is edited, so if you quote it and the die code has "Fixed" in it, you know it's been exactly that.
