An omnibus of 5e NPC macros and a other useful tidbits

I've been designing a campaign for the last month and a half, and in that time, I've come up with a bunch of useful—or so I think—macros, lines, and button menus. In the file, there's a table with four columns, Description, Macro, Type, and Comment. In the Comment column, I've notated any useful and or necessary information regarding the macro in question as well as its suggested use. The use of the majority of the macros is predicated upon the consistent use of the standard 5e character sheet. For PCs, really just the Ability scores are needed. Where additional prerequisites apply, I've made note of them in the comments. Here's the file, which will grow as I update and change it. Macro Omnibus I hope you find them useful!

Thanks for taking the time to share these!

You're most welcome. I hope you find some use for them!

Assuming you're using the 5E shaped sheet, you can simplify your save macros with this handy little one.  I make a global macro called "Save" and make it a token action with the following text:  %{selected|save_query_macro} then one called "Check" with this text:  %{selected|check_query_macro} It works for PCs and NPCs both. Select the token, press Save and it gives you a dropdown of which Ability score you're testing. Press Check and you get a list of all your skills (including custom skills handy for adding proficiency for Thieve's Tools)

Then the VTT becomes keyboard only, press 'c c' to get into the chat window, type '%save' then press tab and voilà, macro with no mouse movement at all. Thank you roll20 for providing keyboard shortcuts for those of us who love them. H

I appreciate the suggestions! However, I use the standard sheet, not the shaped sheet, and these don't reference anything for me. Next campaign, though =]

@ Fred. I did come up with a drop down query for saving throws using the standard sheet. You can find it here in an old thread with some special instructions to make it work with both PC's and NPC's. Further down in that thread you can find my coded drop down for skills and ability checks as well. Enjoy

Awesome. Thank you for taking the time to find that! Is it alright if I include those macros in the file, naturally crediting you in the comments?

Sure!
