1. Most of the Macro documentation can be found in the Wiki , primarily here and here . 2. The default template works everywhere. All other templates are provided by whichever sheet you use (assuming that it has a custom template). 3. This is sheet dependent, but is usually built in to roll macros created by the sheet. 4. Again, sheet dependent. It is possible you can do some of these things with generic macros, but the easiest thing to do is to pick a robust sheet for your system, and let it do the heavy lifting for you. Finally, although you are in games with Pro subscription DMs, your ability to use API commands may be severely limited, depending on which scripts are being invoked. Many of them have options to restrict some or all commands to be issued only by a GM. Consult your individual GM to see what might be available, since everyone's blend will be different. If you post which games you are interested in running, someone can make recommendations. If you are in an existing game, you will need to find out which sheet the GM has set it up with, since you cannot mix sheets in one campaign.
