[Macro help] Available mathy functions

I know that you can do basic math rolls (such as [[2+4]] to get 6), but are there any additional math-related functions available? Specifically, I'm looking for something like min and max.

You can use the keep/drop syntax to wind up with min and max as described in the wiki. I'll be back in a second with an example.

One of us must be moving at near the speed of light, because "a second" turned into 25 minutes. So, if you wanted a minimum of 10 on a dice roll, you'd use something like: /r {[[3d6]], [[10]]}k1 --this rolls 3d6 compares it to 10 and reports the higher. For a maximum, you'd use the drop command like: /r {[[3d6]], [[10]]}dh1 --this rolls 3d6, compares it to 10 and reports the lower.

While I understand why you chose to do it that way, Dave, if you're looking to use the min/max function in another roll you can't use a double inline. Say you want to roll 3d6 ten sided dice, but a minimum of five dice. {[[3d6]],[[5]])kh1 would tell you how many dice to roll, but not let you roll them. /roll [[{3d6,5d1}kh1]]d10 would do that.

Sorry about the time dilation, Dave--I forgot to disengage my warp drive earlier. Thanks for the examples! In my specific case, I was looking to make a macro for my Cure Light Wounds spell (heals 1d8 + caster level (max 5)). Using [[1d8+{@level,5}dh1]] totally worked!

Oh yeah. I'll admit I was having a bear of a time getting Roll20 to deal with the syntax and it took many attempts for what I thought was gonna be a few second thing. Then my two year old had a meltdown over not getting to watch videos of ducks on YouTube right that second...

You could also use [[1d8+@{Level}d1kh5]]
