Die roll question/suggestion ...

Is there a command to roll a d20 and have the non-modded d20 result appear public while the modded result appears only to the GM? Yes I know, one could simply roll a straight d20 and add the mod in-head or in any other way out of game. That said, I feel it would keep the game running smoother and cut down on, yet another little detail, GMs must take the time to manage. In D&D 5E this would come in very handy when players are wanting to utilize their Luck Point/Bardic Inspiration options once the die is rolled but before the results are determined (please let's not get into a discussion on the interpretation of those rules here). If there is an existing command for this, great! I'd love to learn what it is. If not, I'll go ahead and post this in the Suggestions Forum.

To break the result across two lines, one public and one whispered, I think you would need to use API scripting, which would require a Mentor level subscription. I know I could do it via the powercards script.
Thanks for the reply GenKitty. I'm not one for messing around with API scripting. That's part of the reason I'm still a Supporter and not Mentor. Was hoping roll20 had a way to take care of this one.
GenKitty is correct; the base-line macro system cannot repeat identical rolls. Once a dice is rolled, that's it. You can't re-use the value anywhere or copy the result.

Probably the best you could hope for without the API is to show the Roll publicly, then whisper the summed modifiers. You rolled a [[1d20]] /w gm add [[@{selected|to_hit}+@{selected|str_mod}+@{selected|prof_bonus}]] You might get some milage if you know the target number out of doing the math backwards. You rolled a [[1d20]] /w gm beat [[@{target|ac}-(@{selected|to_hit}+@{selected|str_mod}+@{selected|prof_bonus})]] to hit
Thanks guys.
