Drop Down Query Help

Hey there, I am trying to make a macro with a query that allows me to select from other Ability Macros from a character sheet for D&D 5e. Basically what I have for the character is a bunch of spell macros, but instead of having my macro bar flooded with buttons, I just want to have 1 button to push so I can select the spell I want to cast and still be able to add more spells into the macro later on. How I would like to have it set up is as allows: ?{Which spell are you casting?|Name 1,spell1|Name 2, spell2|Name 3, spell3|...} Any help would be much appriciated.

Hey, Jamerific . Unfortunately, it is actually quite complicated to call Abilities from a Roll Query (read why here or see the process in action here ). Instead, I would recommend you use API Command Buttons (ACBs) to create a "menu" from which you can call your Abilities. (Using ACBs in this way does not require access to the API.) &{template:5eDefault} {{ [spell 1](!
%{Character Name|spell1}) [spell 2](!
%{Character Name|spell2}) [spell 3](!
%{Character Name|spell3}) }} (All instances of "Character Name" should be replaced the name of the Character containing the Abilities.)
Thanks! This was actually a big help. I even added the ability that this macro whispers myself so only I can see the options.
