Multiple conditions for attacks

Hi, I'm playing PF and am trying to capture all the conditions of an attack so I don't have to think as much on the fly which will speed up combat. Right now I'm attacking with a earth breaker (2d6 like greatsword) and am trying to capture several events: Rage (+2 str = +2 atk/dmg) Power Attack (-1 atk, +2 dmg) Charge (+2 atk) Right now I'd just be using different macros with possible combinations of each situation, but that's 7+ macros just for these conditions.. Here is the default macro: [[1d20+6]] vs AC || [[2d6+6]] B/S Dmg With Rage: [[1d20+6+2]] vs AC || [[2d6+6+2]] B/S Dmg With Power attack: [[1d20+6-1]] vs AC || [[2d6+6+2+3]] B/S Dmg I could do this with 5 queries per click, but that is a bad way to handle it (especially if adapted to nat attack it becomes 10 queries[rage is required]) This will just become crazy when I start to pounce with my natural attacks (macro below for that one guy who stumbles upon this and wants it): Claw1 [[1d20+6+2]] vs AC || [[d6+4+2]] B/S Dmg Claw2 [[1d20+6+2]] vs AC || [[d6+4+2]] B/S Dmg Bite [[1d20+6+2]] vs AC || [[d4+4+2]] B/P/S Dmg Any way to do this easily? I know JS if that helps at all.. I've seen several posts asking for a way to set a query to a variable to reuse, but that doesn't seem possible.

How I typically handle this: Attribute values: BAB 1 / blank Str 4 / 18 Rage 2 / 4 PA 1 / 3 Note: I am assuming you are using an Earthbreaker two handed (thus have 1.5x strength value and Power Attack (PA) is -1attack/+3damage). Note2: @{name} = @{charactersheet|name} if used in a Macro rather than an Ability) Attack [[ 1d20 +@{BAB} +@{STR} +@{Rage}*?{Rage|0} -@{PA}*?{PA|0} +?{Modifiers|0} ]] Damage [[ 2d6 +floor( ( @{STR} +@{Rage}*?{Rage|0} ) *1.5 ) +@{PA|max}*?{PA|0} +?{Modifiers|0} ]] I added extra spaces around the floor function so it is easier to understand. They are not necessary. Now, this is still 6 querries per click (assuming Attack/damage is one macro). The ?{Rage|0} and ?{PA|0} queries are switches. "1" = on, "0" = off. If you rage and use Power Attack more often than not I suggest switching the default values to "1". The ?{Modifiers|0} query just needs you to input a value if you are charging or whatnot. If you do not want to make any changes to the macro just hit enter a repeatedly to get through the queries. Your natural attacks are basically the same. - Gauss

Thanks for the tips, they're really good. I really wish queries could be saved as a var - that would be super helpful. My attribute values (as a novice - yours could be better): BAB 1 / blank StrMod 4 / blank Rage 2 / blank PAHit 1 / blank PADmg 2 / blank (default is 2 for my natural attacks, I multiply by 1.5 for 2handed as is the case below) Here is the dirty macro (with some labeling): [[ d20 + @{Zev|BAB}[BAB] + @{Zev|StrMod}[str] + @{Zev|Rage}*?{Rage|0}[rage] - @{Zev|PAHit}*?{PA|0}[PA] +?{AtkMods|0} ]]vs AC || [[ 2d6+@{Zev|StrMod}*1.5[str] + @{Zev|Rage}*1.5*?{Rage|0}[rage] + @{Zev|PADmg}*1.5*?{PA|0}[PA] + ?{DmgMods|0} ]] B/S Dmg It'll begrudgingly work, but the perfectionist inside me will die a bit every time I have to click through 6 queries. :P I may just create multiple macros and have each one have mods for special cases like charge - it's much less work in game.

Why do you need to 'click' 6 queries? Isn't Enter faster? Anyhow, I suggest combining PA hit and damage by putting them in the same Attribute. Itll save you on attributes. How I would lay things out: BAB 1 / blank StrMod 4 / 18 (or blank, up to you) Rage 2 / blank PA 1 / blank Then, in your damage macro you can have PA as: PA*1 (offhand weapon or secondary natural attack) PA*2 (primary weapon or natural attack) PA*3 (2-handed weapon or lone natural attack) Also, at some point your strength modifier will be an odd value (+5 for example). If you want, send me a Join link and I can come take a look at your macros if they are in a character sheet. If they arent, I suggest putting them in one. - Gauss

Gauss said: Why do you need to 'click' 6 queries? Isn't Enter faster? I can click my Weapon-Attack-Rage macro without thinking too much. Whereas if I click the generic macro I have to think about rage twice & PA twice (also additional mods, but that's in all scenarios). If I could save queries to some kind of variable like in programming then the generic one is a no brainer. Also having queries with checkmarks instead of iterative boolean prompts would also massively simplify it, but alas.

Ya, I'll have to do some flooring - I assume I can use floor(x+x). Also nice suggestion to put them in the diary/character sheet thing. Thanks for the offer to directly help - I'm a bit busy hopping between other things, but I'll be sure to follow up if I need some help. Thanks for being so thorough!

Here are a couple ideas: If you have spare bars on your token you can use those in place of a query. That way, you can set the value in the bar and your macro can use that. The way to use that is: @{selected|bar3} or @{selected|bar3|max} You can use one bar for both rage and PA by using the regular for rage and the max for PA. Example: Attack [[ 1d20 +@{BAB} +@{STR} +@{Rage}* @{selected|bar3} -@{PA}* @ {selected|bar3|max} +?{Modifiers|0} ]] Damage [[ 2d6 +floor( ( @{STR} +@{Rage}* @{selected|bar3} ) *1.5 ) +@{PA|max}* @{selected|bar3|max} +?{Modifiers|0} ]] Alternately, you can use a single attribute as a switch. Holding down the Alt key while double clicking on your token will bring up the associated character sheet. You can quickly change the values without needing to edit the sheet. - Gauss

More great suggestions. Unfortunately my 3 bars are full of HP, AC(seems strange, maybe could talk DM to move it to attributes), and Rages/day(though I coooould store this elsewhere). Holding alt and double clicking seems to bring up something like this: <a href="http://help.roll20.net/images/TokenSS2.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://help.roll20.net/images/TokenSS2.jpg</a> Nothing like this: <a href="http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k597/amonsbucket/Playing-Harn-in-Roll20.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k597/amonsbucket/Playing-Harn-in-Roll20.jpg</a> Not quite sure how to set that up - I tried to setup a test campaign, but that doesn't seem to give me more when I'm GM.

Go to the field labeled "Represents Character" and set the field to the desired character sheet. - Gauss
