Dropdown list for skill to involve in a macro dice roll

I'm new, but as I understand it, the only variable you can set for a dice macro, is a number - a modifier or even a number of dice. That's nice, but how about pre-creating a list of character sheet skills or attribute values, that you can roll against? (Imagine that parenthesis are wavy brackets for the below example, because wavy brackets doesn't work in this post.) In the macro, you write something like " /roll ?( 1t[Useful-Skills] ) < d100 ", and before you roll, you get to pick from the Useful-Skills table/list with entries linked to the sheet for a selected character. (I'm suggesting a custom list because it seems that usually a character will only use a fraction of his skills, and end up with a lot of skills that he only has 5% chance in, and you don't want that cluttering up a macro list.)

I'm certainly all for better options with regard to prompting the player running the macro. Depending on your system, character sheets provide a fairly good interface to skills.

One thing a lot of people do is to set up single macros that make multiple rolls at once, then just use the one they need. For example, when my players make a saving throw of any sort, they just click their "Saves" token action, which rolls Fortitude, Reflex, and Will saves all at once. The results are displayed, and of course just the one they wanted is the one we use. People have tried various ways of making a drop-down or other selection method possible, but without the API, Roll20 just simply doesn't have that kind of functionality. -Phnord
