D&D 3.5 Spell Macro Question

Hey everyone I've poured through a lot of stuff to try and figure things out but even with&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Dungeons_and_Dragons_3.5#Spells" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Dungeons_and_Dragons_3.5#Spells</a> I am still not clear on some things with making spells. One major question I have is, for example when casting something like Fireball, how would I write a macro that is dependent on the caster level but make sure the macro doesn't let it go past lvl 10 in the case of the Fireball spell from 3.5?

The roll would be something like [[ [[{@{casterlevel},10}kl1]]d6 ]] the {@{casterlevel,10}kl1 would compare the caster level to 10 and keep the lowest of the two.&nbsp; Since it is in a nested in-line roll, it would then use the result of that comparison to determine how many d6 to roll. More on macros and dice in the wiki. edit:&nbsp; if you're using the D&D3.5 Character Sheet Template, one way to write the macro is: &{template:DnD35StdRoll} {{spellflag=true}} {{name=@{selected|token_name} }} {{subtags=casts [Fireball]( <a href="http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Fireball" rel="nofollow">http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Fireball</a> ) }} {{School:=Evo [Fire]}} {{Level:= Sor/Wiz 3}} {{Comp:=V, S, M}} {{Cast Time:= 1 std action}} {{Range:= Long ([[400+40*(@{selected|casterlevel})]]ft) }} {{Area:= 20-ft radius spread }} {{Dur:= Instantaneous}} {{Save:= Reflex half (DC: [[@{selected|spelldc3} + @{selected|sf-evocation}]]) }} {{SR:= Yes ([[1d20+@{selected|casterlevel}+@{selected|spellpen}]] vs SR) }} {{checkroll= A glowing, pea-sized bead streaks from your finger and blossoms into the fireball. If the bead is sent through a narrow passage, such as an arrow slit, you must “hit” the opening with a ranged touch attack, or the bead strikes the barrier and detonates early. }} {{notes= Fireball sets fire to combustibles and damages objects. It can melt metals with low melting points. If damage caused to a barrier shatters or breaks through, the fireball may continue; otherwise it stops at the barrier. See full description for more details. PHB p.231}} &{template:DnD35Attack} {{pcflag=true}} {{attack1=An explosion of flame detonates with a low roar and deals }} {{damage1=[[([[{@{selected|casterlevel},10}kl1]])d6]] points of fire damage to every creature within the area.}} {{fullattackflag=[[d1]]}} {{attack2=Unattended objects also take damage. The explosion creates almost no pressure. }}

I appreciate that clarification! I had the rest of the template for the macro :) just couldn't for the life of me figure out what I needed to compare the caster level to 10 and keep the lower of the 2.
