Nesting Abilities

Hi, I'm looking for a macro/ability that is able to make a saving throw, based on a input from the player (drop-down list). I'm trying a nested ability approach, to use need just one input window to show up. That's my "caller" ability: &{template:simple} ?{Atributo|Strength,%{selected|str-save}|Dexterity,%{selected|dex-save}| and go on...}{{charname=@{selected|char_name}}} Then i have an ability for each attribute: {{rname=Saving Throw}}{{mod=Strength}}{{r1=[[1d20+@{selected|strength_save_bonus}]]}}{{always=1}}{{r2=[[1d20+@{selected|strength_save_bonus}]]}} *Obs: I used the HTML entities listed on "Advanced Usage of Roll Queries". But I keep receiving this error message: 'No character was found for 'selected|strength_save_bonus}]]}}{{always=1}}{{r2=[[1d20+@{selected|strength_save_bonus}]]}}' Do you guys know how to solve it? Thanks!

A good thing to know is that the Input Window shows up, despite the error, and the roll happens, but without the modifiers...

do you have a token (with strength_save_bonus) selected when you click the macro? 

DK Heinrich said: do you have a token (with strength_save_bonus) selected when you click the macro?  Yes! This macros/abilities are token actions...

Can you put in the exact code used in the strength-save ability? To prevent the forum from eating the HTML encoded values replace the & with & My guess is that you are incorrectly encoding the } at the end of @{selected|strength_save_bonus} since attribute calls are exempt from needing to be encoded

I didn't manage to prevent the forum from replacing the entities, so:

Yup, my guess was correct. Replace @{selected|dexterity_save_bonus} with @{selected|dexterity_save_bonus} Attributes and ability calls  are exempt from needing to be HTML encoded.

Hi Lucas, could you possibly be looking for something like this? It is a token action that functions with a drop down menu for all the saving throws and then rolls a selected saving throw twice for adv/disadv.
