Building expression evaluators is good fun! And then you can add
specialty terms, like dice rolling.

[ROLL] Rosuav rolls 2d6: 3, 6, totalling 9.
[ROLL] Rosuav rolls d6: 1 ("Electric")
[ROLL] Rosuav adds a bonus of 12 ("Strength")
[ROLL] For 2d6 + d6 "Electric" + 12 "Strength", Rosuav totals: 22
The code behind that follows a fairly similar pattern to what you
describe, only it deals with dice rolls (NdM -> roll N dice with M
sides each) instead of powers of x. (And it allows comments/tags.)
