Background Some spells, like Spiritual Weapon and Scorching Ray, can result in multiple attack and damage rolls. However, the basic &{template:atkdmg} (and others) expends a spell slot for each attack. I've been working on a macro that will expend a spell slot only on the first attack roll. !script {{

}} APIs Required: ScriptCards ZeroFrame APILogic Fetch SelectManager Emas SpawnDefaultToken 5th Edition OGL by Roll20 Companion Status What this Spiritual Weapon macro does is check to see if there is a token on the VTT for the Spiritual Weapon, Spawn one if there is not, and then make an attack, expending a spell slot only on the first run of the macro (i.e., when the token is Spawned). From the Roll Templates wiki : &{template:atkdmg} {{mod=mod}} {{rname=rname}} {{r1=r1}} {{always=1}} {{r2=r2}} {{attack=1}} {{range=range}} {{damage=1}} {{dmg1flag=1}} {{dmg1=dmg1}} {{dmg1type=dmg1type}} {{dmg2flag=1}} {{dmg2=dmg2}} {{dmg2type=dmg2type}} {{crit1=crit1}} {{crit2=crit2}} {{save=1}} {{saveattr=saveattr}} {{savedesc=savedesc}} {{savedc=savedc}} {{desc=desc}} {{hldmg=hldmg}} {{spelllevel=spelllevel}} ammo=ammo {{charname=charname}} These are the available parameters for the template. I've married them into the above macro. Caveats In order for the level field to properly expend the correct spell slot, the charname must resolve to match the exact name of a character sheet. (See spell slot tracking .) Problem Unfortunately, this part doesn't work.

I've examined the link which is generated by the baked-in 5e OGL API, and I'm confident that I have the correct structure for the link address itself, but clicking the link does nothing and it isn't in the right place. The Question What are the template parameters (i.e., {{parameter name=parameter content}}--like with {{charname=character name}}) that correctly identify the spell slot expenditure and create a functional link in the right place?
