Character Name linked with Dice Macro

Hey all How do I get this: &{template:default} {{name= The GM's}} {{1d20 result is= [[1d20+?{Modifier|}]]}} To display the name of the character/token who is rolling the dice?

One of the following should work for the name section: {{name=@{selected|character_name}'s}} {{name=@{selected|token_name}'s}} If you don't always have your tokens linked to a character sheet, then you would want the second.  The first will only work if the token represents a character.
Thank you for this. It looks like both will only work if I click a token. 
yes.  you could also do {{name=@{target|token_name}'s}} or {{name=?{Name_Prompt|The GM}'s}}

Yup, it's all good now. Thanks all for the help. I just went pro and I'm enjoying the benefits.
