Hey people, I've been using Roll20 for quite some time now as a player and as a GM, but for my next series of games I'm kind of stumped how I can most easily manage the dice rolling for the players. The system I am planning on using is PDQ#, so people who know the rules can skip the next paragraph. The most important aspect of the rules here is that the players can either roll skill checks with 2d6 ('Challenges') or combat rolls with 3d6 ('Duels') and support these rolls with various strengths that add a bonus to the roll if they can describe what they are doing and why said strength can be applied. For example player A wants to climb a tree as a challenge and needs to reach at least a 9. He has the strength 'Acrobatics' on +2 that he can easily use for this task, therefore he rolls 2d6+2. Same goes for Duel Rolls, only with 3 Dice that can be split to Offense and Defense (3 on Offense/2 Offense + 1 Defense/ 1 Offense + 2 Defense/ 3 Defense). The next important thing are styledice that either allow to roll extra dice on the challenge/duel to substitute the worst roll or add an instead +1 per styledice to the roll. What I am looking for now for PDQ# is a macro that prompts a window where a player can then check his strength and the macro adds them automatically to the roll. Say, he checks 3 strenghts with a value of +2 each, the macro should roll for a challenge then 2d6+6. The window should then also have the possibility of adding in the styledice as either additional rolls or the bonus +1. I hope it is understandable what I am looking for. Has anyone ever written a macro that is close to that and can help me out? I mean I could simply write a macro that prompts the player to add a modifier as well as additional dice, but that feels kind of underwhelming.
