Easier initiative macro

Hey all, I have been playing around with an initiative macro for a bit now, and I think I found a nice timesaver: /gmroll [[d20+@{selected|dexterity_mod} ]] &{tracker} What it does is it finds the dex mod of the selected token (if it is attached to a character sheet), and adds it to the dice roll. This is a very close approximation of initiative, and prevents you from having to manually find the initiative. The only downside is that it does not take into account things like feats giving a bonus to initiative, but most enemies I have seen so far do not have that kind abilities.

I'm pretty sure this macro and several similar ones are in the wiki. is there a reason you don't use an initiative attribute, like: /gmroll [[d20+@{selected|initiative} ]] &{tracker} (Change initiative to whatever the stat is in your character sheet)
Well I am using D&D 5e, but if I put in iniative it doesn't seem to work for me

You're combining 2 types of rolls, that might be confusing things try one of: /gmroll d20+@{selected|dexterity_mod} &{tracker} or /w gm [[d20+@{selected|dexterity_mod} &{tracker} ]]
