soo.. i am making a macro for my perception. I have this one ability that lets me roll 2 perception checks and choose the higher of the two. In a macro, how do i compare the results to output the bigger of the two. Ex: if(1d20+15 > 1d20+15) output the first result else output the second result

That doesnt seem to work :( it outputs 31 plus i want it to be "the sum of 1d20+15 vs the sum of 1d20+15" not die vs die Edit: i did some wrong math

the roll can actually be simplified down to [[2d20kh1 +15]] Incase you want it even cleaner that is...

add on question... If you have an ability that lets you reroll a 1 on this check, if one of your results is a 1 the macro will reroll that die and re-compare with the rest of the results?

[[2d20kh1r<1]] Seems to work, it rolls a 2 and a 1..2 was higher, but it still rerolled the 1 to a 6 and returned it.

You may want to use "ro1" instead of "r1" depending on how your ability works. "r1" will reroll 1's until they are not 1's anymore, so "1d20r1" is equivalent to "1d19+1" (and "2d20r1" is equivalent to "(1d19+1)+(1d19+1)"), it just takes more computation to get there. "ro1" will reroll 1's once, and then take the reroll no matter what (even if it's a 1 again).
