Conditional evaluation without ExtendedExpressions?

Is there a way to do conditional evaluation in macros without using ExtendedExpressions? i.e. if a roll is greater than 15, do x; otherwise, do y I'm not a pro user and absolutely can not become one because I simply don't have any money to spare. Yes, I realize it's not expensive; I am legitimately that poor. EDIT: Maybe it would help if I explained what I was trying to do. I'm making a Fire Emblem tabletop, and I want to make a macro for experience. However, the script varies based on what the level difference between the two units is. 20 + (LD x 3) + Character bonus [if LD >= 0] 20 + Character bonus [if LD = -1] Max[26 + (LD x 3) + Character bonus, 7] [if LD <= -2] How would I do this?

Here's a way to create "budget conditional statements" (for conditionally outputting text strings; figuring out a function is often easier for purely numerical outputs): Create a few Rollable Table named something like "Result-0", "Result-1", etc. Each Rollable Table represents a different outcome; give each Table Item(s) reflecting this outcome. Conditionally roll one of the Tables via a roll expression like /r 1t[Result-[[ 1d2 - 1 ]]]], etc. (Note: needs that extra closing bracket for some reason).

Okay, since your output is purely numerical, I think we can work out a mathematical function.

You can do something like this as a summation of terms.  The basic idea is, you calculate all of it, then use some mathy goodness to cause the terms that don't apply to become 0 and sum it all up to get the answer.  I think with more details about what attributes you're considering and how the other parts are calculated it would help others come up with the right formulas for you. Try setting out a working formula for each of the ways in which the experience value can be calculate, then note along with it under what values of which attributes that should be used.  Someone can surely help you then figure out the full expression to use to get the right value (Probably Silvyre because he's awesome at that!)

From the Roll20 Wiki: 17.4 Grouped Rolls 17.5 Grouped Roll Modifiers 17.5.1 Keep / Drop khN/klN/dhN/dlN [[ {26 + (LD x 3) + Character bonus, 7}kh1 ]] covers "Max[26 + (LD x 3) + Character bonus, 7]". 17.5.2 Target Number / Successes (B,F) - CP This is the bread-and-butter of numerical "budget" conditionals, IMO. [[ {LD + d0}>0 ]] equals 1 if LD >= 0. Else, it equals 0. [[ {-1 * (LD) + d0}=1 ]] equals 1 if LD = -1. Else, it equals 0. I think that's enough to get you started with this. Let me know if you'd like a push forward!

I meant to take the Character Bonus thing out, so I'll do that here. There are 3 cases, all of them centered around -1. [[{LD + d0}>-1 ]] * [[ 20 + (LD * 3) ]] [[{LD + d0}=-1 ]] * [[ 20 ]] [[{LD + d0}<-1 ]] * [[ {26 + (LD * 3), 7}kh1 ]] To put the whole thing together: [[ [[{LD + d0}>-1 ]] * [[ 20 + (LD * 3) ]] + [[{LD + d0}=-1 ]] * [[ 20 ]] + [[{LD + d0}<-1 ]] * [[ {26 + (LD * 3), 7}kh1 ]] ]] Is that correct?

I'm interested in knowing more about this - it could be used to pick a random line to be displayed when getting a critical hit. How would you go about outputting a text string like this?

That should almost do it! Two things: Remember that {LD + d0}>0 actually means {LD + d0}>=0, etc. as Roll20 uses inequality signs inclusively. You'll just have to change stuff like {LD + d0}>-1 to {-1 * (LD) + d0}<1 etc. to avoid errors.

I'm interested in knowing more about this - it could be used to pick a random line to be displayed when getting a critical hit. How would you go about outputting a text string like this? You could have three Rollable Tables; one for missing, one for hitting, one for critting. e.g. Attack-0, Attack-1, Attack-2, respectively. Each could use multiple Table Items for your "random lines". Then, use something like: Result: [[ 1t[Attack-[[ 1d20>20f<[[@{target|AC} - 1]] + 1 ]]]] ]] You'd need to use 3D Dice to view the exact roll result.
