(:Summary: Change evaluation order. :)
Parentheses are used to specify the order of the computation.
As said, the @@d@@ [[Qdr/OperatorsGuide|operator]] is computed before of the @@*@@ operator, and the latter is computed before of the @@+@@ operator. So, the formula "@@2d6*3+4@@" means ''roll two six sided dice, add the result together, multiply it by 3 and then add 4''.
Using parentheses it is possible to modify that order: whatever is put between them is computed before of the operators outside them. I.e. the formula "@@2d(6*(3+4))@@" means ''add together 3 and 4, multiply the result by 6 and then roll two dice with a number of faces equal to the result''. Or, in other words, ''roll two [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/42_(number) | 42]] sided dice and add the result together''.
