Using Attributes to determine how many dice to roll?

I'm trying to use Attributes from a character sheet to roll a number of dice equal to the Attributes: /roll @{max_hits}d100 However, this only outputs @{max_hits}. How can I format the roll so I can roll the d100 a times equal to @{max_hits}?

Try it with inline roll syntax: /r [[@{max_hits}]]d100 or [[ [[@{max_hits}]]d100]] Technically those two should be identical (just inline roll output versus normal roll command output), but sometimes it seems like inline rolls play funnily with other things.

Ah, so I needed to finalize the attribute before trying to roll. Got it. Thanks

I would have thought your syntax would work, but glad those ideas worked. If max hits isn't just a number that would explain it.
