Macro repeating weirdness with @{Selected}

I thought I had a good grip on the {Selected} and macros but I created this macro: (using Chrome on Windows and the same thing happens on iOS 7) /em Fire Beetle attacks @{Selected|Character_name} /r 1d20 + 2 vs. AC @{Selected|AC} /r 1d4 Piercing Damage When I have a token that is linked to a character sheet this is what I get (Line breaks cleaned up): Perry T. (GM) Fire Beetle attacks /em Fire Beetle attacks Dragon Wyrmling Perry T. (GM): rolling 1d20 + 2 vs. AC 17 (13)+2 = 15 rolling 1d4 Piercing Damage (4) = 4 rolling 1d20 + 2 vs. AC /em Fire Beetle attacks Dragon Wyrmling (16)+2 = 18 rolling 1d20 + 2 vs. AC 17 (17)+2 = 19 rolling 1d4 Piercing Damage (3) = 3 rolling 1d4 Piercing Damage (2) = 2 The values it's pulling are correct based on the selected token but why is it repeating in such a weird way?
Hmmm...is this just all in one single macro? Or is it a combination of several macros/abilities? I just pasted it into a single macro and it seemed to work fine.
No, that's it exactly as I have it in the character sheet; and I'm sure i'm only clicking to run the macro one time. If I remove the {Selected} tags it runs fine; but when I add even one of them in I get strange results.
So it's a Character ability, then? And you're testing it by clicking on the little roll icon next to the ability on the Character sheet?
yes, it's stored as a character ability. I've used the little roll icon on the sheet and I also get the same results when I show the macro in the quick bar and use it from there with the character sheet closed. I just created the same macro in the settings /macro area and it works perfectly there when I use Test Macro; or when I assign it to the bar
Okay, I'm able to reproduce it. One moment.
Okay, should be fixed. Reload and try again.
Works great! thanks for the stomping :)
Yay! Thanks Riley! Enjoy your game!
