Ok, I thought I knew how to do this, but apparently I was wrong. How do I write a macro that the players use, for Notice let's say, that whispers the roll result to the GM. Example: Stealth roll /w gm roll ([[@{Agility}+@{Stealth}+?{Modifier|0}]])d10!10>7sd So what am I doing wrong? Tom

Use /gmroll, or whisper the entire thing as an inline roll.

The whisper isn't actually necessary. When a player uses the /gmroll command, the result is shared between the player who rolled and the GM only.

Well the fault I can see is that the beginning needs to be /gmroll , no whispering or space needed :) The rest, dunno. (too many helpful people here, I see :) )

Ok. That fixes that. But is there a way, that I can see the result but not the player? Aside from making the roll myself.

Yes, but that would only work with the API (there is a blind roll script in there which I love and use) which is only available at Mentor level. edit: with it, the player effectively writes f.e. "!broll 1d20" without the quotes and only the GM receives the roll.

Tom , with the Rugged Reroll what you could do is whisper to the GM the Ability macro you would like him to use and then the modifier if any. Then he can roll it by clicking on your token and hitting the appropriate Token Action.

Right, but that's still me rolling for them. I have a macro already that lets me roll a Notice roll for a selected token. So I have that covered. ;)
