[Macros] Referencing Rolls

Can a macro reference your previous dice roll? For instance, I'd like to add a line to an attack macro that displays the successes rolled –1 as "bonus successes" they can apply to the damage roll (a different macro). So my chat display might look something like: =4 successes 3 bonus dice to damage How might I do that? CAN I do that?

[[(5d10>5)-1]] bonus dice to damage

So wait. If my macro is this: /roll [[@{Strength}+@{Melee}]]d10!10>7sd vs @{selected|Avoidance}[Avoidance] Where do I put that?

Ah well... with that macro it won't work.

Referencing rolls in other rolls is outside the capability of macros. You'd have to put it into the API.

I don't want to reference it outside of the same roll. Ideally what I'm looking to do would be something like this: /roll [[@{Strength}+@{Melee}]]d10!10>7sd vs @{selected|Avoidance}[Avoidance] ([Successes]-1) bonus dice to damage That's why I'm trying to work it into the attack roll macro as opposed to referencing it in the damage roll macro. If it can't be done, that's cool. But I thought I'd ask.

It's still referencing another roll, even if you keep it in the same macro. You'd have to roll it all into one roll line with a final, single output of how many bonus dice you get. If someone else doesn't try it, I'll see if I can do something when I get home from work this afternoon.

Brandon is correct, at this time you cannot reference a roll elsewhere (either on another line or in the same roll) unless you use the API.

Alright. So it sounds like my players will just have to use their brains. Fair enough. ;)

As an exercise in the API, would a mentor be willing to show how you might do this?
