5e Ammo Tracking and substituting it with @{x}

So the 5e API Ammotracking uses fixed numbers and ?{x}? Does anyone know if i can use some form of [[@{x}]] instead?

Could you elaborate what you would like it to do?  The 5e OGL Companion's ammo tracking can have more than just a fixed value in it. You can put a query in there, or an Attribute .

An attribute with a numeric value will work, since those resolve before scripts. If you're asking if you can use a roll (for instance, to do a calculation), the quickest way to know is to try it. I'd be surprised if it doesn't do roll-value extraction, but if it doesn't you can add ZeroFrame to your game and extract any roll value just by adding .value to the end of the inline brackets: [[2d20kh1]].value

Yup, just put the attribute in instead of a static number.
