Struggling to understand why this macro is behaving this way

This is an elemental Adept Macro, which doesn't usually behave incorrectly, however, It's behaving weirdly right now. 2+2+3+5+6=18 (which is correct) 5+6+2+5+6=24 not 26 The macro seems to be adding 2 to the roll if it does not use any of the d2 rolls but it shouldn't be doing that...?

I may be completely misunderstanding this (that's my get out of jail free played), but 4d2r1 will re-roll any 1s, so that second entry looks good to me, although it will keep rolling d2s until it doesn't get 1s.  If you only want it to re-roll once then use ro1... if that's what you want though?? so, assuming D&D 5e by Roll20 character sheet I have [[4d6+4d2ro1k4]]+@{selected|intelligence_mod}

Judging by the kh4 you're wanting to roll 4d6 but treat 1's as 2's. To do so you need to use {braces} rather than (parenthesises). So your damage dice should be {4d6+4d2r1}kh4 As for what is currently happening: The kh4 after the parenthesis causes the rest of the roll to be treated as a comment. It's effectively doing 4d6+2+2+2+2 and not including the +6[int]. The reason the first example seems correct is because when you roll precisely two 1's the +8 from the 4d2 'corrects' the 1's and lack of +6[int].

Ignore the waffle about ro - I hadn't checked elemental adept before chucking in my two penneth ,but The Aaron also gives a nice way of doing this via rollable tables "the way to handle this in Roll20 is by creating a Rollable Table with the values 2345678, where each is weighted as 1, except for 2, which is weighted 2"  for a d6 obviously you would amend this to 23456.  If you called the table EA6 for Elemental Adept using a d6 then the inline roll would be [[ 4t[EA6] +@{selected|intelligence_mod} ]]  or if going in the damage section on attacks and spellcasting, leave out the @{selected bit and just choose INT as the attribute

Thank you so much, I had no Idea there was a different used for braces, solved the issue 100%
