I've been going through all the Roll20 wiki articles on Chat Menus, Roll Templates, Macros, etc. I so far have figured out how to make a chat menu within another roll template in an html button, like so. &lt;button type="roll" value= &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; '&amp;{template:default} {{name=@{character_name} @{weapon} }} {{attack=[[2d6 + @{skirmishattack}]] [[2d6 + @{skirmishattack}]][[2d6 + @{skirmishattack}]]}} {{Damage=@{cutdamage} , @{thrustdamage} + [[1d6]][[1d6]][[1d6]]}} {{Extra Damage Dice= [1](`/r 1d6) [2](`/r 2d6) [3](`/r 3d6) [4](`/r 4d6) [5](`/r 5d6) [6](`/r 6d6) }} {{Reach=@{range}}} {{Defense=[[2d6 + @{skirmishdefense}]][[2d6 + @{skirmishdefense}]][[2d6 + @{skirmishdefense}]]}} {{Parry/Block=@{parryblock}}} {{Notes=@{other}}} ' &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; name="roll_weaponrepeatingbutton"&gt;&lt;/button&gt;&lt;/span&gt; It displays this, so each number in "extra damage dice" is a button that rolls that many d6's. <a href="https://capture.dropbox.com/mLX9sCJ2uBWWpqX4" rel="nofollow">https://capture.dropbox.com/mLX9sCJ2uBWWpqX4</a> I think it's possible get the dice rolled to show up in their own template, as I've seen it done on another forum post here. That way what the dice are can be clearly labelled in the chat. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/10847041/need-help-with-chat-menu-button" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/10847041/need-help-with-chat-menu-button</a> Not sure what I'm missing. I tried putting a second &amp;{template} in the middle but that definitely didn't work.&nbsp; &lt;button type="roll" value= &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; '&amp;{template:default} {{name=@{character_name} @{weapon} }} {{attack=[[2d6 + @{skirmishattack}]] [[2d6 + @{skirmishattack}]][[2d6 + @{skirmishattack}]]}} {{Damage=@{cutdamage} , @{thrustdamage} + [[1d6]][[1d6]][[1d6]]}} {{Extra Damage Dice= [1](`/r 1d6) [2](`/r 2d6) [3](&amp;{template:default} {{name=Damage}} {{dmg=`/r 3d6}}) [4](`/r 4d6) [5](`/r 5d6) [6](`/r 6d6) }} {{Reach=@{range}}} {{Defense=[[2d6 + @{skirmishdefense}]][[2d6 + @{skirmishdefense}]][[2d6 + @{skirmishdefense}]]}} {{Parry/Block=@{parryblock}}} {{Notes=@{other}}} ' &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; name="roll_weaponrepeatingbutton"&gt;&lt;/button&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Maybe I have to use hidden attributes somehow like the aforementioned forum link? Or there's a solution I missed somewhere. Thanks for any help.

I assume you are referring to this: {{Extra Damage Dice= [1](`/r 1d6) [2](`/r 2d6) [3](`/r 3d6) [4](`/r 4d6) [5](`/r 5d6) [6](`/r 6d6) }} You need to replace those literal dice rolls with button calls, and include hidden buttons on your sheet. So your sheet might have(not sure what fields you need, but something like this): &lt;button type="roll" name="roll_dice1" class="hidden" value="&amp;{template:default} {{name=1d6}} {{roll=[[1d6]]}}"&gt;&lt;/button&gt; Repeat for 2-6 dice buttons. Then replace the extra damage dice part of the original roll with {{Extra Damage Dice= [1](~dice1) [2](~dice2) [3](~dice3) [4](~dice4) [5](~dice5) [6](~dice6) }}

Worked like a charm. Ran into an error at first, but once I added the "~repeating_weapon_" prefix on the&nbsp; [4](~dice4) part it worked nicely.

Excellent. I should have notioced it was in a repeating section, from the button name in your first post.
