Code:

LBL 3  ; You could use label D for Dice here
  FIX 0
  RCL 1
  STO I
  CLx
  LBL 4
    RAN#
    RCL * 2
    INT
    +
    DSE I
      GTO 4
  RCL + 1
  RTN

I just noticed you can save even two more steps if you remove both the CLX and the RCL+1. ;-)

Even better! It seems that writing "composable" code just leads to wasted performance. Maybe instead of extending existing programs, everything should be rewritten from scratch every time you want to add a feature (at least when programming a calculator).
