Hiya! I'm using this macro but when the players roll poorly I would prefere the result to stop at 0 instead of counting down to negative numbers. Is that possible in a simple way? [[ 1d20+@{target|stealth_bonus}-5]]

Use the keep highest syntax: [[ {1d20+@{target|stealth_bonus}-5,[[0]]}kh1]]

Ah, sorry, replace the [[0]] with 0d1 or 0d0 or 1d0.

Ack, I still can't get it to work. I bet it's some sort of evil HTML replacement stuff going on here. I will look it up . Edit: HA! Got it. Thanks so very much for showing me the way Scott! I didn't even know this was possible.
