I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. Are you asking how to make a menu of character sheet generated abilities, or just how to nest them in other macros? For the first one, take a look at  ability command buttons . If you just want to call a character ability from inside another ability or macro, it works the same as for a custom made ability.
I'm playing a druid and have a number of beast forms . I have create a stack makro Beast Attacks) /w firdu Sylrah &{template:npcaction} {{rname=Beast attacks}} } {{description= [roll d10 ](! #d10 ) [Tiger Claw](! %Firdu Sylarh|tattack) [Label](! %Firdu|tattack)}} I have also created an ability on my character sheet called tattack . the d10 roll works fine using a macros from the collections tab  but I cant get it to reference the ability. I have tried first name and both names it just put test either %Firdu Sylarh|tattack or %Firdu|tattack depending on what button I press

Ah, I see. You're using API command buttons. They're closely related to ability command buttons, but have some different quirks. One of them being that they call whatever macro or roll is in them when the button is sent to chat instead of when they are clicked. Switch to the ability command button syntax, and you'll be good to go: /w firdu Sylrah &{template:npcaction} {{rname=Beast attacks}} } {{description= [roll d10 ](! #d10 ) [Tiger Claw](~Firdu Sylarh|tattack) [Label](~Firdu Sylarh|tattack) }} Also, the 5e OGL templates have better formatting for ability command buttons, so it'll look cleaner too. Edit: I'd also recommend changing your d10 button to this: [roll d10 ](!
 d10 ) See the  API command button wiki for details on this. If you already do this,and the forum just ate your html entities, then ignore this edit obviously.
