Looking for GM Monster Macros on Drop downs

Hi all, I am currently using this macro as a drop down menu for my 2nd Edition D&D game, shown as a token action for a GM out of game character I created: &{template:default} {{name= Combat!}} {{?{Ability Name: | Bandit, Bandit = AC [[19-d20]] Damage [[D6+0]] | Bandit Leader, Bandit Leader = AC [[18-d20]] Damage [[D6+1]] | Giant Rat, Giant Rat = AC [[20-d20]] Damage [[D2+Disease]] | Huge Rat, Huge Rat = AC [[17-d20]] Damage [[D6+Disease]] | Gulf, Gulf = AC [[#-d20]] Damage [[d#+#]] | Hotel, Hotel = AC [[#-d20]] Damage [[d#+#]] | India, India = AC [[#-d20]] Damage [[d#+#]] | Juliet, Juliet = AC [[#-d20]] Damage [[d#+#]] | Kilo, Kilo = AC [[#-d20]] Damage [[d#+#]] | Lima, Lima = AC [[#-d20]] Damage [[d#+#]] | Mike, Mike = AC [[#-d20]] Damage [[d#+#]] | November, November = AC [[#-d20]] Damage [[d#+#]] | Oscar, Oscar = AC [[#-d20]] Damage [[d#+#]] | Papa, Papa = AC [[#-d20]] Damage [[d#+#]] | Quebec, Quebec = AC [[#-d20]] Damage [[d#+#]] | Romeo, Romeo = AC [[#-d20]] Damage [[d#+#]] | Sierra, Sierra = AC [[#-d20]] Damage [[d#+#]] | Tango, Tango = AC [[#-d20]] Damage [[d#+#]] | Uniform, Uniform = AC [[#-d20]] Damage [[d#+#]] | Victor, Victor = AC [[#-d20]] Damage [[d#+#]] | Whisky, Whisky = AC [[#-d20]] Damage [[d#+#]] | Xray, Xray = AC [[#-d20]] Damage [[d#+#]] | Yankkee, Yankee = AC [[#-d20]] Damage [[d#+#]] | Zulu, Zulu = First Attack [[10-d20]] Damage [[d12+6]] Second Attack [[10-d20]] Damage [[d12+6]]}}} The problem is that each time in combat I need to click on a GM character, click on the token action, sc roll down the list for the correct monster and click again. It is time consuming and slows up combat. Does anyone have a combat macro set up for 2nd Edition D&D Monsters with their Thac0 and Damage that they could show me please? I understand some GMs use Token action on each monster Token but that might be a little too much. I am thinking of say one token action on the top of the bar, then sub sections for Undead, Humans, Orcs, etc etc I would also like to add in, if possible, which character the monster is attacking, but understand this can only be linked if I am using token action on each monster. Any help or assistance would be awesome! Thank you in advance. R3D

You could set up a generic one yourself.  Create a single macro set as a token action, call it "Creature Attack", and give it text something like &{template:default} {{name= @{selected|token_name} }} {{AC=[[@{selected|THACO}-1d20]] }} {{DMG=[[@{selected|DMG}]] }} Then in each creature's character sheet, create two attributes: THACO and DMG, and in THACO enter the appropriate number, and in DMG enter the damage roll - 1d4+2, 2d6, etc, whatever. BNow you just need to click the token, and click the Creature Attack token action, and the attack and damage are rolled. No dropdown list at all. This would need finessing for creatures with multiple attacks, or multiple damage, but it can be done. Would this approach work for you?
Thanks GG I will try that :)
