Roll Macro

I'm planning on running a nWoD game sometime in the future, and I wanna make a macro(s) for it. For those who aren't familiar with nWoD (you can skip this if you are), you roll a certain amount of d10s determined by your character's traits and you count how many times you rolled an 8 or higher, which are called successes. Normally, you reroll all 10s, which is called the 10-again rule, but for some rolls this rule may not apply. On the other hand, some rolls can get 9-again, where you reroll both 9s and 10s, and even 8-again, where you reroll all successes you score. Along with these, you may also get the rote quality, which means you reroll all failed dice. Sometimes, players are forced to roll what's called a chance die, which is where they roll 1 die with 10-again but they can only succeed with a 10. I know the commands to do all these as separate rolls, but I want to give my players a macro where all they have to do is input the amount of dice they're rolling along with the roll's qualities. Remember, a roll can have both 8-again and rote, but neither when it's a chance die, and those are only 1 die every time. So perhaps the macro should ask for the roll qualities first, then the amount of dice. It would also be nice to allow players to label their rolls if possible, but isn't strictly needed. I've tried my best to do this myself using the Wikis, but it doesn't give a lot of information on this sort of thing so I'm reaching out. Thanks in advance.

Hi Epicarp, as you say you've referred to the wiki I will spare you the usual 'check out the dice reference and useful macros' pages and instead check to make sure you have seen the system specific sections, ideally the one for  WoD/nWoD ? That page has some useful stuff that could easily be applied to inline rolls or roll templates.

Yes I have checked that, and it has been useful for finding roll commands. Like I said, I'm looking at making a macro that asks the player which roll qualities to apply (or not apply in some cases) then makes the appropriate roll. So I know the commands to make all the rolls, but I don't know how to get a macro to ask for specific roll qualities and then apply it. I have found out how a macro can label a roll using roll templates. Because templates require you to make an inline roll instead of a roll command, is there a way to make inline rolls visible to GMs only?

Perhaps you'll find this Wiki page helpful.

Thanks

Figured it out myself, the macro works the way I want it to and all, but I still have one more question: Is there a way to make an inline roll visible only to GMs? I wanna make a separate macro that works the same, but makes rolls only visible to GMs.

Place /w gm at the start of the line that the inline roll is situated on. If you're using a Roll Template, place it before the &{template...
