Success/fail macro

Hi Fellow Roll20 Citizens This is for DnD 4th ed I'm trying to create a selected target apposed check macro Scenario Sneaky kobold has stealth + 9 and its trying to sneak up on a PC that has a Passive Perception of 18(tell me about it). Now as far as I understand it I use the PC's PPerc of 18 as the DC. I was hoping to simply use /gmroll {d20+9} >= @{selected|PPerc} The macro runs alright but it shows neither success or fail in the chat window. But if I remove the +9 it works as intended. Any pointers? May all your rolls be true Sean Archer

Hm... Just noting, you don't need the >= sign. > and < already work as Greater than or equal to and Less than or equal to, I believe, so just > should suffice.

Try taking out the spaces around the > sign: /gmroll {1d20+9}>@{selected|PPerc}

Hmmm...I think I see the problem. Try this: /gmroll [[d20+9]]>@{selected|PPerc} When you want to use a calculation, you have to put it inside double brackets, making it an inline roll (I think that's the right term, anyway). You can shorten it a bit more even by using /gr in place of /gmroll.

If you wanted to get a little fancier with it... You could create a Character Sheet for your Kobold (and any other NPC's) that contains its stealth skill as an Attribute. Link the token you're using to that sheet, and create a general Stealth Macro to do the stealth roll. This would let you click your NPC token and roll its stealth check Macro and target the PC you're hiding from: /gmroll [[1d20 + @{selected|stealth} ]]>@{Target|PPerc} You would be able to use that one macro for any NPC tokens you had linked to to character sheets that have a 'Stealth' attribute configured.

Yep i'll be heading down that path Mark G I only had the +9 for testing, I try not to hard code variables when possible. Thanks for the heads up :) I feel sorry for my little kobold though, poor thing doesn't have a chance at sneaking up on that PC, even in the heat of battle :( Regards SeanA PS it doesn't show the total for the roll IE (9)+9 is the result, but i'm sure i'll nut it out :) at least its working! PPS Tom the [[ ]] seems to kill it.../gr LOVE IT always good to shorten pesky code :)
