Turn Tracker question

What I'd like is a way to roll an initiative dice for each token in the turn order, all at once. So basically maybe a macro that says "Roll d20 for each member in the turn order, and apply their initiative bonus". I know you can select a token and use /roll 1d20 + 5 &{tracker}, but that's too much trouble to do each turn for each token. I also don't want to just use one initiative number, because I have a stat in my game specifically for buffing initiative, and just re-using the same roll kind of invalidates that stat. Anyone know of a way to do this?

What you want to do isn't possible with standard macros. With a mentor level subscription you would have access to the API which would allow you to do this.

I think I'll just play Song of Blades and Heroes and use activation dice lol. :) Thanks for the info though. I did check and RPTools Initiative Tool does not seem to do this either, so maybe it's more a deal where there is no demand for what I was asking for. I checked one other online tool and it also did not do this.

The problem with doing it in Roll20, and probably MapTools as well, is the system agnostic nature of the programs. Since there isn't a universal initiative attribute or calculation across all games you might play on these applications, the ability to set something like this up requires specific coding. If it would get you to subscribe to Roll20, I'd be happy to write the script for you. [edit] And if you're going to play SBH on Roll20 and are looking for another player, let me know. I'd be interested in joining in!

Yeah I agree. I'm really just leaning forward to a Song of Deeds and Heroes campaign. I'm not a huge fan of initiative anyway. That game works perfectly in Roll 20 from what I can tell.

By the way, you could set up a macro for the initiative roll. You'd need to click on each player and then the macro button, but you wouldn't need to type in the full command every time. For instance, if your initiative bonus was held in an attribute called InitBonus the macro would look like this: /roll 1d20 + @{selected|InitBonus} &{tracker}

Ok, thanks, I was wondering how to apply a dice roll to a selected, then apply it to the tracker. So I imagine with the API we'd have the ability to do something like Foreach token in Game.Tokens { /roll 1d20 + @{selected|InitBonus} &{tracker} } ?

there is a SBH community on G+ that would like to know how you would go with this <a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/109118440270766782674" rel="nofollow">https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/109118440270766782674</a>

Mario , I am not sure what information your post is intended to convey. However, if there is someone in a G+ community that has a question regarding Roll20 the best place for them to post it is in the Roll20 forums.
