Rolling Abilities and Attributes in Chat Window

I am running a game and have a character sheet. On this character sheet are a number of attributes and these are used in the ability macros. The sheet is correctly associated to the token and I want to roll one of the abilities in the chat window. I select the token, click on the chat window, type in #Dexterity and hit enter. It just comes up in the chat window as text. Furthermore the Tab to autocomplete the entry acts as though it does not see the ability. To add insult to injury a player who is helping with this can access the abilities with no issue. I thought maybe it was a browser issue but it is the same in both Firefox and Chrome. Suggestions.

To access abilities, you need to use the form %{&lt;character name&gt;|&lt;ability name&gt;} like this: %{Guard|test} &nbsp; &nbsp; See:&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Journal#Abilities" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Journal#Abilities</a> # is used for calling macros, which you can setup on the Settings tab.

To add, Attributes can be called from the text chat using the following syntax: @{Character Name|Attribute Name} Ability Macros are called from the text chat using the following syntax: %{Character Name|Ability Name} Settings (or "General") macros, which are found on the My Settings (gear) tab of the Sidebar are called from the text chat using the following syntax: #MacroName So, if your Character was named rpgman2013, you could call your Dexterity Attribute (which is likely a number) by typing @{rpgman2013|Dexterity} into the text chat. If the Character rpgman2013 had an Ability Macro named Dexterity on the Attributes & Abilities tab, that Ability Macro could be called by typing %{rpgman2013|Dexterity} into the text chat. However, unless you create a Settings Macro named Dexterity, typing #Dexterity into the text chat will yield no results. For more information, you could also check out the Macros page on the Wiki. Good luck!
