Macro to change which character I /em as?

I have a handful of tokens I control as a player,because of necromancer minions,and would like my /em macros to reflect that without having to manually click the dropdown thing every time. Is there a way to have a macro do something like /setplayername Lizardbie so that it shows up as /em Lizardbie instead of /em Thaele, etc?

Not for players. There are ways to handle it if you have the API available (A Mentor Level Perk).

Sad times. Thanks for the info.

What I have done in the past is use something like: /em [Lizardbie] runs for the bushes! Not as elegant, but gets the point across.

Also a not very elegant solution but you could put the actions of your minions in a roll template. Have the title be their name and just make the text of the template a roll query. Then you'll get something like: That one is using the 5e template but the idea is the same.

I currently use something like "/emas Monster rushes forward and bites, wishing only death for it's enemy!! Total roll: [[1d20 + @{Selected|WeaponBonus}]]!" Is there a better way to identify the creature in a macro such as the ability to reference the name of the token or something?

@{selected|token_name} works and doesn't require the use of the API.

If you're using the API, and you want your players to have emas, I've got an emas script (kind of a hack) that lets them do !emas which behaves like /emas (with some caveats that I need to fix).

Thanks for all of the suggestions! Honeybadger, that was exactly what I was looking for!
