[Character Sheets] Make /em command from a roll button in a character sheet display the character's name by default or allow /emas @{character_name}

Currently, if you use the /em command from a roll button, it displays whichever option you have selected in the "as" dropdown in the chat window. So it would say "<Whoever> rolls [[2d6]]." This complicates things for games where people play multiple characters, or for GMs. You have to remember to change the dropdown before you click the button. I'd like to see the roll buttons from within a character sheet use the name of the character that the roll button belongs to, instead. So if you clicked a button it would output "<Character> rolls [[2d6]]." even if you have "Player" or a different character selected in the chat dropdown. Alternatively, allow sheets to use /emas @{character_name} command for non-GM players.

I agree, currently as a DM where i also run four pc's and npcs i just can't bother to change between each so every roll will be done under the same name which can be confusing for the player, only switching for actual conversation.

Agreed, my players with multiple characters are asking for this as well. 

This is something me and my players have been wanting as well, was looking through the forums if there was a thread about it to +1. Often a player has to take over a character for a session and thus has to juggle between the two different characters. Having character ability macros and character sheet macros automatically grab the name of the character would make a lot of things a lot smoother.

well one way to do this is to use @token_ids with your drop down menu Example: you can set a drop down to ask which Character is rolling then based on selection it would generate the proper @token_id or @charater ID then insert the Roll or sheet query and output properly i however am no code jokey.
