Having a choice of dice damage rolls in a Macro

Hello All, Playing a Monk Character and it is Archetype time. My DM is allowing me to pick a Way of the Long Death Monk so I decide (as I had time free and it is good practice) to create macro's for the character's abilities. I have managed to get most of them ampped but there is one that is giving me a bit of a problem. Touch of the Long Death "Starting at 17th level, your touch can channel the touch of death into a creature. As an action, you touch one creature within 5 feet of you, and you expend up to 10 ki points. The target must make a Constitution saving throw or take 2d10 necrotic damage per ki point spent on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one." So the first Macro I made was this: &{template:default} {{name=Touch of the Long Death}} {{"They will die of deadly diseases, they will not be lamented or buried; they will be as dung on the surface of the ground and come to an end by sword and famine, and their carcasses will become food for the birds of the sky and for the beasts of the earth"}} {{damage=[[1*2d10]] [[2*2d10]] [[3*2d10]] [[4*2d10]] [[5*2d10]] [[6*2d10]] [[7*2d10]] [[8*2d10]] [[9*2d10]] [[10*2d10]]}} However I do not like the face it makes all the rolls simultaneously then I have to hover over the numbers to find out what number I need. Ideally I would like a system where I could click the macro and it gives me an option to pick between 1 and 10 and then it auto rolls now I have had a look at Roll Queries ?{Number of Dice|1}d10 But I cant seem to get them to roll, they just display the text as the dice type rather than a roll.....Any help? Fishy

Not going to affect the meat of the macro, but which character sheet are you using? Can get some nicer looking output from that. Now for the meat; this damage calc should be what you need: [[[[?{Number of Ki Points}*2]]d10]]
You sir.....are a star, works perfectly! Thank you

Happy rolling

yep, it was all mind bogglingly confusing when I first started.
