Need help with a FAE macro

I'm trying to add a ? roll query into this macro so it can take in account Aspects, Stunts, and Situational modifiers for the roll. I've tried a couple different ways but have not figured it out yet. I know it is something simple but I'm just not seeing it. &{template:FAE}{{name=@{name}}}{{effect=?{Approach|Careful, Careful: [[4DF+ @{careful}]]|Clever, Clever: [[4DF+ @{clever}]]|Flashy, Flashy: [[4DF+ @{flashy}]]|Forceful,Forceful: [[4DF+ @{forceful}]]|Quick,Quick: [[4DF+ @{quick}]]|Sneaky,Sneaky: [[4DF+ @{sneaky}]]}}}

There is an additional } at the very end, could that be breaking it?

It's not broken. The 3 } close out the current ? and the effect roll template. I'm trying to figure out how to add a +?{Modifier|0} to the macro in the manner that it is added to the dice roll when the approach is chosen.

D'oh, of course that is why there are 3 at the end!! Does [[[[?{query...}]]+[[?{modifier?...}]]]] work?

I generally recommend that elements common to every drop-down field of a Roll Query be factored out. e.g. ?{Q|A, [[1d20 + 1]]|B, [[1d20 + 2]]|C, [[1d20 + 3]]} → [[ 1d20 + ?{Q|A, 0|B, 1|C, 2} + 1 ]] So, factored: &{template:FAE} {{name=@{name}}} {{effect=?{Approach| Careful, Careful: [[ @{careful} | Clever, Clever: [[ @{clever} | Flashy, Flashy: [[ @{flashy} | Forceful, Forceful: [[ @{forceful} | Quick, Quick: [[ @{quick} | Sneaky, Sneaky: [[ @{sneaky} } + 4DF ]] }} Then it's just a matter of placing your second Roll Query right after the first. Doing it this way avoids having to deal with Advanced Usage for Roll Queries .
