% indicates an ability (from the Attributes & Abilities tab of a character sheet, or from a roll button on the Character Sheet tab). @ indicates an attribute (from the Attributes & Abilities tab, or from a form field on the Character Sheet tab). # indicates a macro (from the Settings tab of the right sidebar). Attributes and abilities both use the same syntax: @{ name }, @{ character name | name }, @{selected| name }, @{target| name }, or @{target| target label | name }. (Obviously replacing @ for % when using abilities instead of attributes.) Attributes can also add "|max" to the end (eg, @{ name |max}) to access the max value of the attribute instead of the current value, although if you want max on a targeted attribute, you have to use the full form (@{target| target label | name |max}, not @{target| name |max}). Macros are simply # name and you need to have a space afterward. There are several ways to learn the name of an attribute or ability. If it's one you've created yourself, obviously use the name you gave it. All attributes from the character sheet which are not in repeating sections and which have had a value set for them will have an entry in the Attributes & Abilities tab, as well. Some character sheets have documentation about names (check the wiki for your sheet), some will tell you a field's name when you hover over it with your mouse, and some have documentation on the character sheet selection page of your campaign settings. If all else fails, you can right-click on the value you're trying to use from the sheet and inspect it to see the HTML. The form field will have an attribute like name="attr_npc_action" , and the bit after "attr_" is the name. In repeating sections, you also need to specify the name of the section (found in the HTML as either div data-groupname="repeating_npcaction" or fieldset class="repeating_npcaction" ), as well as either the row id (discoverable by dragging a rollable button to your macro bar) or a row index (eg, $0). Chat commands include: /em or /me : send an emote as the character or player currently selected in the "As" dropdown /w name : send a whisper to the named player or character speaking as the currently selected player or character. If name has a space, you need to enclose it in quotes, but you can also just use partial names. If you whisper to a character, everyone with control over that character will receive the message. name can also be "gm" to send the message to everyone with GM privileges. /o : send a message as yourself, regardless of your current selection in the "As" dropdown /as name : send a message as the named character. GM use only. No character avatar will be used, even if the name matches an actual character. /emas name send an emote as the named character. GM use only. No character avatar will be used /desc : send a description, not something from any character. GM use only. /direct : send raw HTML to chat. API only You can also use a subset of Markdown formatting in your messages: *italics* -> italics **bold** -> bold [google]( <a href="http://google.com" rel="nofollow">http://google.com</a> ) -> google If the URL ends in .png, .gif, .jpg, or .jpeg, the image will be displayed in chat instead of just a link.
